Figurative: a process by which paradoxical results are achieved or incompatible elements combined with no obvious rational explanation
Alchemy is an open drawing project aimed at exploring how we can sketch, draw, and create on computers in new ways. Alchemy isn’t software for creating finished artwork, but rather a sketching environment that focuses on the absolute initial stage of the creation process. Experimental in nature, Alchemy lets you brainstorm visually to explore an expanded range of ideas and possibilities in a serendipitous way.
In this project we are using alchemy to make a minimum of 5 drawings on the computer. We then print these off and use them as the basis for a drawing using the various shapes, lines, and forms that were created within the digital space (drawing from observation). Once these are printed they are objects and now have a reality to their own. Using pen and ink, wash, and brushes to complete the drawing we then will return to the computer as a drawing tool to finalize the completed work. Below are some photos from this project in process.
