Rice Paper, Watercolor Paper or Plastic for Frottage?
Recently I have been talking about how certain things in my studio practice have an influence on my paintings. I find just spending time doing brings about so many ideas and possibilities for newer projects. I have talked about doing frottage work before, but it seems to be one of those things which lends itself to the type of work I do. When I am not using the plastic sheeting, I find myself using rice paper and sometimes watercolor paper. Recently, this particular image revealed itself to me on rice paper:
I keep these pieces because I know they will prove useful later. Sometimes I am not sure how they will be useful, but I find this craggly tree shape appealing. Using rice paper allows me to have a nice base when I do these as does watercolor paper. The choice is intuitive between these two, however. The use of the plastic is often a more conscious choice.
Let me know your thoughts! I am always eager to hear from you.

I am always searching for that freedom, Suki!
The “craggy tree shape”–definitely a keeper! Another “layer of inspiration.”
I think you are right, San! Thanks!
