#minimalform

well, yesterday was a complete, unmitigated failure. the shading was just too diffuse to work as a cliche-verre print. It looked mushy, for lack of a better word.

I'll be back with a report in a couple days. graphite + charcoal on sketching paper . . . #wip #smallart #minimalism #monochrome #minimalform #contemporarydrawing #minimaldrawing #monoha #dansaekhwa #quietart #wabisabiart #zeroart #patriciabender #kunst #reductivedrawing #abstracto #abstraktekunst #nonobjectivedrawing #geometricminimalism #minimalabstract #dansaekhwaandminimalism #geometricart #abstractart #geometricforms #abstractminimalism https://www.instagram.com/p/CAK1IwdFSFH/?igshid=1kmc0nh54j432
