INTRODUCTION
The store kept their doors open for months, and I kept on
buying the watercolor blocks they had on their supposed “store
closing” sale. I thought I was just being tricked into continuously
buying their merchandise, but I compulsively bought a lot of art
supplies, especially the watercolor blocks.
Using ordinary paper was not right for me. I needed to “feel
responsible” for my art, and I thought I would be able to do that
using my more expensive paper, the pastel pads. Then it occurred
to me to try to figure out how to use my most expensive paper, the
watercolor blocks.
I also felt that I would just be wasting my time, my money
contribution to pay for the models and the venue, and the nudity of
the models and their time by just drawing on cheap paper. If I was to
become serious about art, I needed to meet industry standards!
I started using pastel paper, but I was not happy with the feel
of the paper and I thought it was thin and can accidentally get folds
and creases. When I felt confident and happy with my drawing style,
I immediately started using the watercolor blocks.
After all these years, and the later “realizations” and lessons
I had gotten from galleries, other artists, and other people in the
art field, I came back to look at my drawings and paintings from a
decade ago.
You will notice that a good number of the painted ones had
been dated 1995. I painted some to show in 1995. I signed the rest
1996 when I decided not to paint on any drawings anymore.
