Scroll Paintings

During a conversation with Eric DeVos in February, 2015, he commented that to his knowledge no one had ever done a scroll painting in the "chang" style on a rice paper scroll. I immediately thought of some of the challenges that this endeavor would pose and dismissed the suggestion. That got the juices going though and I decided to order some rice paper rolls and give it a try. First I decided to do a test run of one approach to this by way of taking some sheets of newspaper out in the yard in the snow and using some fountain pen ink that I had to see how it would go to do an entire length of a scroll painting at once. During the first session I did black and blue ink. The next day I did some red ink. I brought the stack of papers in and let the ink dry. The following day I pasted them all together with clear acrylic polymer to create the scroll. Starting out I'll post a few detail photographs of that first effort at doing a scroll painting. Some time later I recalled that I had actually done a scroll painting on a roll of paper with acrylic during the summer of 1976, so this is the second effort at scroll painting.
