ART: Gaddiments, Day I

I was inspired to try these experiments after watching a bunch of YT videos of Ruben Van Roon(?), where he admires, watches, analyses and demos numerous Steve Gadd rudiment based grooves, licks, fills, and so on.

Step One, felt pens.

I forgot to snap Step Two (pastels, mostly white/cream).

Step Three, acrylic pens.

The idea is that I will loosely incorporate some of these rhythmic ideas into some visual artworks, in an exploratory way. And see if I can thereby generate anything visually worthwhile.

It’s ’oily days’, at the minute… wonder where it’ll take me?

Fiddling about with more or less black and white variants… Maybe I can explore with pencil drawings? In inks, or black and white paint? Or as prints… I like processing images digitally as a means to explore more possibilities.

And ditto, with some colour fiddling…

And finally…

Filtered to green n’ orange.
