The small square ones
20 x 20 cm
30cm x30cm
The technique I use on my small squares is similar to the one used for my miniatures. On japanese paper I use acrylic paint (other techniques such as oil, watercolour, indian or colour ink, charcoal can be used). I paint intuitively on a big sheet of paper without considering neither shape nor colour combinations. I try to let my unconcious lead my hand.
I then cut the painted paper square into size (10, 15, 20 or 30 cm) and paste it on pieces of cardboard of the corresponding size.
Once dry, I observe the miniature until an image appears, in a way similar to when we watch the stains on a wall or the clouds in the sky. With indian ink, pastel or willow charcoal I enhance the image that I saw.
The process seems simple, and in fact it is. We all can give it a try. The unconcious is very powerfull, and it takes a lot of effort and work to liberate it. As we succeed, all what is in ourselves, our experience starts coming out, and we can lay it on the surface we choose. In this way a painting is born by a hand that paints on it's own.
