'Drainting' onsite. Thurs 11/05/24

My fav’ time for drawing/painting/looking is late afternoon, sliding into evening. Worked on this on location on Thurs.(May 9th). Set up around 2.30pm, - and worked nonstop, in the zone until about 7.40. Had a stinking cold, but seems a pity to waste the gift of good weather. A warm gold sun kept me company until about 7pm. Is it a painting? Or is it a drawing? It’s dry media mark-making, as in pure drawing. Yet there are layers of pigment like a painting, - I spray fix with liquid fixative, which kind of transforms the drawn surface into a painted one.,And then further layers of dry chalk and charcoal are laid over the top, aligning, combining, or sometimes contradicting the colours and forms underneath. Neither quite a drawing nor a painting then. Maybe its a ‘drainting’?😎🌈
