Starting on a new 'thing'

I started work on a new painting/exploration today. It's in albumin tempera on the wrappers from A3 photocopy paper taped together to make a surface 1200mm x 1000mm. So far just black and white and the brown of the gum tape with white over it. My next step is to play on the computer to see what I think about colour. Working on the wrapping paper is about trying to not get to precious and be a bit freer, but in my experience this doesn't really work because once a work gets its own persona it doesn't like the idea of being temporary or an experiment.
