A couple months ago I was working on these new small paintings and I needed some inspiration. I’ve been getting sick of the color palettes I typically gravitate towards, so I decided to put all my inks in a big pile, and force myself to use whichever 3 or 4 random colors I picked with my eyes closed.
I’m so glad I did this little exercise, because I never would’ve combined colors in exactly this way; these are much subtler and softer than I’m used to. I think I’ll continue this method for a while and see what happens.
