Lately I have been spending more time in my studio space experimenting with different ways of applying paint and experimenting with acrylic and oil paints. I have been using my sketch book for these experiments and to try out different colours together before applying them onto canvas.
I find working into a sketch book is good for testing colours, however my brustrokes are ristricted by the size of the sketch book and I think this makes them look less effective. For me to progress to the next stage within my work I need to get out of painting scenes into a sketch book and start working on canvas and increase the size I work on. Mainly because an idea I have had for my degree show work will be to have paintings on a large canvas and I want to start trying this out soon.
