Picture
Susan Pine        
   My artistic journey began with drawing, working with graphite and pen and ink for a few years before venturing into color. I used many mediums—color pencil, pastel, and watercolor—before settling into acrylic as my primary painting medium for the past few years.
  Working with a putty knife, I begin intuitively, spreading gesso or modeling paste onto a surface, creating the first texture layer of the painting. My second step is to brayer or use a sponge with black or white paint to loosely indicate an image of a figure.  Thereafter, watercolor-like layers of color are added, along with thicker applications. During the process of building up the painting surface, I emphasize shapes with intense hues, such as red, blue or black.  There will be many layers before the painting is finished. 
     Viewers have told me that my abstract paintings are both musical and meditative; which is interesting, since I do mediate and usually have music on while I paint. The final image of each of my paintings comes out of this process.     Contact Sue at slpine@gmail.com
