Continuing with my practices on wood, I created another piece - about the same size as those in my "Earthy Tones" post - but this time in blue shades. I made the decision to continue working on wood as I find the surface easy to paint on. This was something I discovered whilst working on my last two paintings, seen in my previous post. For the colour however, I chose to use Prussian Blue purely out of my love for blue tones and mixed it only with Titanium White to achieve the different shades. In my mind, this brought me back to my first few experimental paintings I created before the start of term.
With this painting I chose to leave some areas of the wood visible, much like I had experimented with previously and felt worked well. Furthermore, I tried using a combination of controlled brush strokes and spontaneous pallet knife applications, which resulted in a mixture of blended colours and textured layers.
I enjoyed blending the blue shades into eachother and overlaying them with heavy paint. I felt this had an interesting effect, as well as creating a suitable amount of depth within the piece.
After completing this piece, I decided to create another using the same techniques I have described above. Once finished and placed together, I felt that these two paintings looked interesting as a series.
