After completing my oil paintings so that they are dry in time for Monday…I have FINALLY managed to get round to having a go with the modelling paste! I did a quick canvas painting using the acrylic paint, modelling paste and oil bars in order to build up texture and continue with my usual impasto style. I shall post the results below.
I was impressed with how quickly it dried, i decided to leave it in its current state last night so i can work over the fully dry layer when i wander over to the studio today. To be honest, i don’t like this painting too much but at least i know i definitely prefer the oils!
I will upload the body of my portfolio work when i have managed to photograph it all (there isn’t too much of it luckily…quality not quantity, right?), but in the meantime i’ll leave you with images of my first year (and early second year) degree work on; http://hannahjp.wordpress.com/
Looking back i’m not sure what to make of it, but it has only been recently that i have come to accept that i am here to learn, and everything i do whether i like it or not is all about personal development. It’s a balance of doing the work to meet the criteria needed for the course, but also personal expression.
