Though I like to draw, the idea of sketching has never really been part of my practice. Typically I consider my works on paper to be finished pieces. Sometimes I do quick "sketches" to work out specific problems for a painting but I don't simply sketch stuff without a specific reason.
These works on paper launch a new series and are potential studies for future paintings, but right now I think of them as stand-alone pieces. I am enjoying the directness of the mark making. I think of myself as a painterly painter, and these drawings build up colors and surfaces in a similar manner as my paintings, only the marks are more obvious here. I suspect some of this technique will work its way into my new paintings.
