My Latest painting: The first Stages
In my latest painting I have been really conscious over the composition. This is my largest painting of this kind to date and I didn’t want it to end up my other largish paintings- over crowded with patterns, disorganised and no central focus.
With this painting therefore I decided to stick with minimal block colours to start, so as to keep the base as structured and as simple as possible. I then area than I usually doing creating different three and four sided shaped in order to sculpt the colour into giving the illusion of space.
After this I painted over it again, but instead of using a lot of colours (as I usually would I limited myself to three and white) in the hope of creating something simpler.
The affect this had was promising, the painting has a more complete composition that my others and in addition is more tonally balanced.
However it still needs a lot of work, from here I intend to expand upon the central purple square and add more architectural spaces around the corners the edges creating a distance effect. All of this will be done by using as large block colours as possible with possible some structural compliment masking lines added.
