Observing, studying
drawing, painting,
Photography and writing
about things help me understand
empathize
appreciate
and enjoy all of these things
here around me.
I don't need to go very far.
Some of my early drawings are recycled pastels. Now, I am using colored pencils and ink, which I find involve less water and very little waste and clean-up. No fixative sprays are necessary, which is important to me.
My paintings are sometimes on canvas, but usually on recyled board, or something else recycled.
I also use water based oils made with emulsified linseed oil which can be cleaned with water but dry hard like regular oils.
