Gestural marks and intuitive gestures

A morning in the studio experimenting with pigment dyes. I worked on heavy gloss paper which absorbed the dyes beautifully (Gravue Empire Gloss 350gsm, provided by G.F. Smith, Hull) 640x900mm.I worked on several pieces at the same time to allow drying and to maintain spontaneity. I used a limited pallet of red, black and blue.                 

                  

The application of pigment became rhythmic. I enjoyed the freedom of making intuitive gestures, letting the pigment pool and dry around the objects forming interesting edges.
