Well, things have improved a bit since my last post. Though I’m still struggling slightly with loosening up my painting, I’m becoming more comfortable with it and am keen to get these paintings finished and move onto some new work.
I still have a bit of finishing off to do so will upload pictures of the completed paintings in my next post, but for now here are a few shots of one of the paintings which is the most resolved.
I had one of those moments last night where you’re trying to sleep and yet new ideas keep streaming through your mind. This time it was that I want to explore the idea of changes in light in my next paintings- specifically, I want to base the colour palette and tone of my next paintings on what I observe of Falmouth docks at night and in the early morning.
I’ve just taken these pictures of the docks this evening, and tomorrow I hope to get going on figuring out how I’ll work them into paintings.
