Small experimental works
Currently all my small scale mixed media works are taken from my first set of darker gloomier images. Some of them however are depicted lighter or more vibrant in my paintings. This tells me that I do have an attraction to the more vivid colour. I am however, as talked about in a previous post trying to control my use of colour and using more realistic colours. I have wanted to go out on brighter days and take more pictures to see the light and how the colours become more attractive to me.
What my small images perceive.
•A semi abstract approach to the landscape.
I am happy with the level of abstraction that my work has adopted over time. It references my relationship with the landscape, however has slight areas of misunderstanding. I am really enjoying working small scale because it is allowing me to add layers and build up texture as well as restrain from some areas for effect. I have then been adding pen detail when dry.
•Expressing an identity through colour, texture and shape.
I am still trying to find the middle between bold unrealistic colours and realistic with vibrancy.
