I was first introduced to pulp painting a few years ago by Beck Whitehead, who was then the Chair of Papermaking Department at the Southwest School of Art. I was fascinated by how pulp can be used as a drawing and painting tool. I quickly realized that the room for exploration and experimentation with techniques in pulp painting are innumerable and boundless.
These paintings are created using pigmented pulp as a painting medium.
