Today I spent some time trying to focus on one piece. A small drawing. My process prior to switching to acrylic was to focus closely on one drawing at a time. I am trying to get back to that. I had strayed to get a less concentrated mark. Also, acrylic takes a little longer to dry. After making a lot of paintings that never get resolved, I feel like I need to bring drawing elements back into it.
