The Middle Three: Subtle Drift

In a flurry or work, I have laid in the basics for the middle three drawings. As I work on each panel, one thing that I am aware of is drift. With each drawing, I let the previous one lead. I become more interested in softness, the colors undulate up close as I draw, Rothko-esque as it were.The effect is ever so vaguely like writing repetitive sentences on a page, and each subsequent line slightly droops as it is written. I also am less focused on the final outcome. No telling what the final product will yield, but the process is invigorating.
