A daily-ish blog of spontaneous, graphic effusions of unrestrained mark-making, plus one descriptive word. This will be accompanied by an occasional technique log.
Today’s technique is, wet-in-wet. This involves dropping a brushful of very wet paint into a prepared, slightly less wet, area of wash on the paper. I decided to wait exactly 10 seconds before dropping in the wet paint, hence, “discipline.” So exciting to watch the fugitive meanderings of the second colour.
Biography Ruth Geldard began her art career as a figurative painter and exhibited widely in London and the South East. Recent study towards an MA in Fine Art saw the work move from two dimensions into three, evolving into a hybrid somewhere between sculpture and assemblage. The core theme that underpins the work is identity, explored with a strong interest in the feminine.
