I wanted to type up a little update before the England match later *ENG-ER-LANDENG-ER-LANDENG-ER-LAND* to share with you a few of the paintings I made yesterday!
After an early finish for the summer, I've noticed the absence of my routine of going into the studio, and although the ideas I have remain rolling around the back of my head, my productivity in actually making anything has dwindled. So yesterday I had planned to get back into making some paintings since I had spent so much time on making sculptures towards the end of last term.
My aim was to just really brighten up my palette and see what emerges without me having a set of images to work from. It was a great challenge for me as I have struggled with just letting things emerge from the canvas in the past. I really enjoyed myself and experimented with various colour combinations and brush marks. My only downfall is I get impatient working with oils, not letting the layers dry means the bright colours I had intended to stand out mixed in with the wet colours under them. I might try the same thing with acrylics to see if I can get a better result - or just learn to wait for a bit longer!
Anyway, here are a few of my favourite outcomes, to see the whole lot just click on my Tumblr tab.
I hope you all have a cosy evening indoors out of the rain, here's hoping a win from England will lift our damp spirits!
