Experimenting

So I started painting again, if you can actually call it that. I'm experimenting with different techniques and mediums. This studio is an old bandana that I used as a rag when painting during college. I sketched out a skull ad threw some paint down on top of that.
A friend of mine at college used needle and thread to make some "drawings" on canvas. I liked the way that looked so I decided to put a little bit of that in there as well.
Finally, I took a turkey feather I had found in the spring and some orange spray paint to the canvas. It created outlines if the feather and then I just smacked the feather around on the canvas, kind if like an abstract artist would with a brush, but I found a new type of brush.
Over all I got some good ideas flowing. Now to think out an actual painting instead of this mess.









It ends the way it begins.

Skulls

I don't know why, but I have thing for skulls. Maybe its that they're just easy to draw. Or maybe it has something todo with the fact that skulls are the foundation of every face and they all look the same to me. Or maybe I just like drawing skulls.
