I started a new painting today. I'm loving the idea of using junk mail to create color and texture on the canvas. Rather than starting with random strokes of paint, I collaged junk mail all over the surface. If you look carefully some of you might recognize some of these materials. Netflix flaps, my favorite security envelopes, and an outdated Urban Outfitters catalog pieced together to create a patchwork of random colors and patterns.





After that, I applied my plaster mix, allowing bits and pieces of the junk mail to show through.
