1:11 PM: i entered the studio this morning with the intention of doing more work on yesterdays 2020 creek oil 4, but i wasn’t in the right space to work in oil, so i took a creek watrecolor from last month and began working on it using collage. before long, it was unrecognizable and contained only fragments of its original self. i’m posting 3 stages of watercolor-collage 126 to give you some idea of my process of modifying this one. included in the collage materials are: maps, old oil palettes. a handwritten note from someone i don’t recognize and pieces of cut-up watercolors.
