“Waste Not Whatnot #8”: acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30”
Some of the Sketchbook Revival sessions I have been watching have emphasized the “play” aspect of art-making. Maybe that’s why I took a notion to add some paint to this “Waste Not” piece that has been on the go for a while. I mainly used the dregs of a bottle of fluid red acrylic that was no longer fluid; I sliced open the bottle and scraped it out with a palette knife and smeared it all over. (Hence the name of this series — it mostly uses paint that would otherwise be thrown out.)
