during the open studio tour, one artist, barry marshall, shared images from a workshop he attended in which everyone was blindfolded while painting & listening to meditative music. the images i saw were cropped & mounted from larger sheets of watercolor paper. looked like ink wash & maybe red ink was used. had a lyrical quality & the progression of the results became more asian in style.
how this relates to me:
think it is just a great way to get out of ones comfort zone & give fresh results that could evolve into some interesting trends. sometimes you do not know what your gonna get>>> just jump in & play/paint for the joy of the process (& the trashcan).
might give it a shot with acrylic or digitally. may get more miles out of the digital files.
the ink paper thing reminds me of watching this japanese artist/master that demonstrated brushstrokes that were part of a structured movement >>>like judo,qui gong or even fencing. made sense & looked like it would be fun to study. he used big arm movements & his whole body when painting. the brushstrokes reflected the control & fluidity, while presenting that fresh/instantaneousness of the medium.
