dartmouth week 3 and a little painting at home
i decided to make tuesday morning the end (for the time being at least) of the stitchcanvas piece in fear of the temptation to just keep on adding bits, fiddling, tweaking and whatnot.. so here it is as it stands, although i will tighten the dangling strings.. .
that done i decided to have a little mess around with some paint, i was toying with the idea of producing some maps along a similar thread to paintings i made last year but possibilities of the inclusion some of my text.. here is one of several results, unfortunately, due almost entirely to the spontenaity of it (namely the shoddy and thoroughly warped card i was working on) i decided id carefully file that thought away and move onto something ive been mean to do for some time.
oil paint is something i have tended to avoid in the past, through convenience or choice im not entirely sure but regardless, i wanted to get back into using it and at the same time inject some life into some of the images that tend to remain hidden away in the depths of my sketchbooks.. so yes, several evenings and heres the progress. i decided to scan and project the as basically a time saving device, some may shun me for it but these paintings are intended to help me understand the tactile qualities involved with oils and colour, beyond this (i am not copping out here) i personally find it necessary that the proportions remain accurate to the original (far smaller) doodles. like i say.. time saving.
last but not least, the studio at the end of week 3
