First Body of Work

Yayoi Kusama, Revived soul-1995- 300X150CM 

This week I have decided to get out of my sketchbook half way through the week and start creating bigger work and start including paint into the work, I have been painting circles then developing my obsessive marks around them using both circles and line. I have then moved this on to a series of three A1 sheets which are again larger painted circles on a colour background, which I have then worked into.

I liked these because of the addition of colour and I wanted to create them bigger, but I also wanted to take them onto canvas now. On this I did the same however I varied the sizes of the circles to create depth and more space in the work, before then working into it with a sliver pen to contrast the background, but it also gives the impression of movement in the painting because of the shine on the pen.

To then develop my work further I created a series of four smaller canvas', I felt this was a good move however I didn't know where to now take my project and push it further so I wanted to look at a greater range of artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Mark Bradford, these have given me some good ideas on how I can push it further and lead onto another set of work.
