The following set of thirty-three 5 x 7 inch [12.5 x 17.5 cm] watercolor and gouache on inkjet prints are the next step for the images in the previous post, Drawing After the Fact. With these paintings on paper I returned to an earlier process developed with the persona, Petra Nimm — see all posts containing the name Petra which can be found in the Guide posts. Although I am applying process from Petra I view these paintings as done ‘on my own’. Just like the drawings they are based on these paintings were made quickly over the course of a few days. Aside from their relationship to the previous drawings, I discovered while painting these a relation to the most recent oil on canvas paintings as well as the smaller panel paintings completed this past winter and spring, an underlying fluidity, layering, and disruptive sensation which appears to transcend the media, size and other surface factors of both the original and resulting images. I limited the paint to white and black designer gouache, Danial Smith Autumn and Pale Gold powdered watercolor pigments with additional gum arabic for transparency, and water. All additional color is a result of the reaction of the inkjet printing ink to the paint, water, and heat — after painting I misted the back of each piece of paper with water, sandwiched between paper towels and pressed with a hot iron to flatten, a few of the paintings took on a pattern as some of the paint was removed by this step. The inkjet prints were done on ‘inherited’ cotton rag, weight unknown, hot press postcard stock. The images were color prints of the photos in the Drawing After the Fact post, which being of graphite drawings are primarily black, white, grey-toned. The following photos were taken under cloudy light conditions in the studio greenhouse at 1/100 and have not been color corrected or otherwise adjusted.
