Painting Project

These three pieces above I have now finished by adding in line which helps create a structure within the painting. I think that they are successful because they have helped me take my project further. I personally like middle one the most because I think that the colour combinations are really nice against each other. I would like to present them as a series and I think that they are very influenced by Gerhard Ritcher's work.

These four pieces above are development and experiments to help me develop my work out of my sketchbook. These are plays on mark making and colour combinations. On the bottom and top one I have been using oil paint to experiment the contrast in the way that it blends in comparison with acrylic. The only downside is the time that the oils take to dry when you are applying them as thickly as I am, therefore I wont be able to add lines to the painting for months as it takes so long to dry. So for this project I will be sticking with acrylics. 

Acrylic on Paper 130 X 150 CM

This black and white painting is inspired by one of the photos in my photo book, I have created it using only black and white emulsion paint, which gives it a dull finish which I'm not completely keen on. I have used a varied different items to make this ranging from wood off-cuts to sponges and a paint roller. I found it quite hard to make because usually in my work I rely a lot on colour and what they bring to the table. So in this case I only had form, line and texture to create a painting.

Acrylic on Canvas 61 X 76 CM

These are my latest developments In my project one on canvas, the other on paper. I have again been using off-cuts off wood to create the scrapping effect across the area. Unlike before I haven't been to precious on what shapes and lines I make, I'm going to work with what shapes are made. I am going to keep developing these work, but also keep on experimenting with making new marks in my sketchbook that I could introduce.
