I remember learning the rudiments of the scientific method in 6th grade, as a student at the American School in the Hague, the Netherlands, and being paired with a classmate to perform a specified experiment. I remember nothing about our question, research, or hypothesis but I can report my personal conclusion: If you spill acid on your Girl Scout Brownie uniform, the acid will eat a hole in the fabric.
Yesterday afternoon, a little power surge of energy moved me to my studio where I opened my sketchbook and went into spontaneous experimental mode. I am grateful to be painting more often of late, grateful to be feeling venturesome, grateful to be captivated by process, grateful to learn something every time I explore with paint and other media.
Here’s the Materials section of my lab report: acrylic paint, India ink and dip pen, Stabilo chunky pencils, high-flow paint, paint straight out of the tube, brushes, Dixie food wrap, torn paper collage, matte medium, credit card, a fine line applicator, and a plastic palette knife.
