Maggi Hambling
I started looking at Maggi Hamblings work not to long ago in relation to what I am doing at the minute and with her visit soon I thought Id look at her work a little bit more.
While looking at some of her paintings it made me think about whether I am trying to paint an actual seascape or whether I want to paint much more abstract parts from within a seascape. Much like Maggi Hambling’s Wave Crashing, 2007 or Rolling Sea, 2010.
I have attached the link to a video on youtube, in which Maggi Hambling talks about her wave paintings and how she started by going to the beach near where she lived and making sketches of the sea and the waves. I think for me to improve this is something that I need to do. Instead of working directly from memory I could take my own photos and create my own sketches to work from alongside working from memory.
