Carrying on from my previous post 19…
I then decided to begin to create this image on a larger scale, being canvas.
Image 1:
Again I tried to make the first layer quite light and opaque. I then added the presence of the landscape with a slightly darker paint. This began to create the shape I was looking for. I again made the dominance of the path shine by using white acrylic.
As this point I didn’t really like the dullness the piece executed.
Image 2:
I then tried to add darker areas and also the angle of the landscape to show what I thought was still an abstract representation. I do however feel as though I have started to add to many shapes and detail and simpler lines and collage papers would have worked better.
This is only the second stage; however I plan to work back in the strong vertical lines that showed a presence in the smaller scale experimental works. I am still happy with the progress of this canvas because it is just adding more and more layers which are working well. I would also like to work into the piece with graphite, as I did the smaller ones with pencil.
