PAINTINGS / ROUGH SKETCH
Rough Sketch
Rough Sketch is a public painting practice built around people, practical limits, and momentum. Oil and acrylic pens let the work travel, while cloth rags tone each canvas and carry almost all later color.
LISTENING NEARBY
Music is part of the pressure and momentum in Rough Sketch. Some titles share a name with songs that nudged them along—not as quotations or soundtracks, but as a record of what was in the room while the work took shape.
RAGS, NOT BRUSHES
Brushes are almost entirely absent. Cloth rags tone the canvas first, then make nearly all of the color that follows—leaving the paintings with very few brush strokes from beginning to end.
