In general my paintings are done with oilpaint on canvas. I have a habit to always have small papers (size A3) next to me on the floor or pinned to the wall when i paint. I use these to make quick notes with the brush that happens to be in my hand, when the paintingprocess evokes new ideas , when i want to experiment with different colors or different brushstrokes, or simply when i want to get rid of excess paint on the tip of the brush.
I keep adding touches here and there when inspiration calls for it , sometimes it takes days , month or even years if a next action happens on a such a paper. I sort out what seems to make sense as a base that could become eligible as "a small work". Finally i focus on what is there and turn with little work the "oil on paper" into a real painting. The other papers stay in the process and mature till they are acceptable for the final touches.
From 1993 till 1997 i made about 400 such small works. You can view a selection here, also the slideshow with the title INSCAPES
