703-15 Fifteen or so Final works for 703 and completeion of first year of MA
Fauvist Face but adding interest on the RHS.
ffa43 ffa43 Acrylic on A4 paper - on RHS I added a window and flower vase. Matisse (and others) used windows as farming device. The face is slightly narrow. I think this work has a life about it.
ffa44 ffa44 Acrylic on A4 paper - ffa44 - on RHS I added an imagined landscape scene. The skin tones are slightly paler and more natural. I think this is a lively painting.
Fauvist Vase. Back to the vase painting I did last year. Painting with contrast, tints and dabs.
fva41 fva41 Acrylic on A4 paper - From my Matisse Fruit bowl - I am really pleased with this work, I did some colour shading to add shadow - a fault is low contrast between the fruit and the background, other fault is pattern on vase is the pattern is not pale enough. .
fva42 fva42 Acrylic on A4 paper - To bring out the colour of the fruit I used a very contrasting colour to bring them out. At the end I decided that the background needed more interest and there should be different hues / shades dividing the areas into 2 not quite the same.
More Colour thoery. Painting with contrast, tints and dabs.
cta418 cta418 Acrylic on A4 paper - Colour theory with contrast, tints and dab painting. I think this is a lively painting with movement.
cta420 cta420 Acrylic on A4 paper - Colour theory with contrast, tints and dab painting. I think this is a lively painting with movement.
Fauvist Weeds, based on photos of flowers where they are not expected to grow.
fwa41 fwa41 Acrylic on A4 paper - From a painting from Nov 2013. Ended up very Margritte Like. Started with sky landscape started with the cracks, then added the greens over the wet red, so it was easier to reinforce the reds.
fwa42 fwa42 Acrylic on A4 paper - Same source as above.
Using washes as a base for sea and sky then colour applied over the top. From photos and scenes from my Holiday.
nysga4 nysga4 - Acrylic on A4 paper - 'Stone Goddess', from holiday photo Pebble Statue.
nybca4 nybca4 - Acrylic on A4 paper - 'Birds at Bempton Cliffs', a lively painting. I added a few touches to enhance, the painting and make sure the different areas were clearly separated. The white flowers in the foreground brought the right area up to the viewer.
nyfda4 nyfda4 - Acrylic on A4 paper - 'Filey at Dusk' A lively painting. Reminds me of a Rothko painting.
