original work on paper by bradley.

part of “found forms” limited series

acrylic and charcoal on 18X24 inch mixed media paper

This ongoing series of female figures is created with the excess paint left on my brushes while working on other projects. Rather than waste the paint, I smear it onto blank sheets of watercolor paper. Once the paint has dried, I study the shapes and lines left behind until I find a figure. Using charcoal, I trace the figure left behind by chance and randomness, connecting marks and brushstrokes and filling in the blanks.
