Abstract

Any material used for painting has attributes peculiar to itself which can be considered inherencies. The transparency, opaqueness, hue, solubility, texture, and refractive or diffractive characteristics are inherently different in each material. These inherencies can contribute components to the graphic, or two-dimensional, composition. The compositional vocabulary of inherencies depends on the variety of handling techniques and the variety of painting medium which can be enlarged by incorporating more than traditional materials. What is most desirable is to work within a flexible medium, using its inherencies to further the graphic vision of the artist.
