CONTINUATION OF PAINTING
My constant fight to ‘go abstract’ has taken a different direction. Am sure it’s not new – nothing is….but I decided to work in stages. First very loosely drawing the composition, then blocking in flat colour shapes to cover the canvas. Next put the drawing back using a strong black line (in paint) correcting as I go. Then block in again but don’t completely cover the drawing.
I want to express the atmosphere of the place but retain the drawing from the sketches onsite. We’ll see if it works !! Influenced by looking at de Stael and Diebenkorn !!
