DQ - Dymanic

discovering new methods

I decided to start over again from scratch. Letting go has been a great journey of discovery. I’d like to share some of my new discoveries and techniques. You can see on these pages a new style and methods, with more vivid colours. Painting quickly, with abandon and using a ‘tetrad’ of colours for my pallet. Now I am mostly painting on paper rather than canvas. Often making multiples of the same painting at the same time. Painting quickly with acrylics on cheap paper gave me the freedom to experiment. I didn’t need to be precious or afraid to mess up, when making five of the same – just one needed to be good. I was able to let go and relax. I spent more time experimenting in just a couple of weeks than I did in many years. It felt like fun and in doing multiples of the same I expected that 1 of 5 needed to be good, I found sometimes that 5 of 5 were good. I thought ‘Dynamic painting’ is a good title for this loosening up and letting go.

Looking for a working title
I thought to go with ‘dynamic painting’ for the time being. And in short DQ.
