Oil on board
trying to scrape back and get a freshness into the work. Often I’m building up too many layers yet not enough clarity.
Continue to work on older paintings from UK trip 2023 sketches whilst also adding to the larger new canvases. Trying to be better at editing. Will consider stretching the 6 canvases next week. But also have an idea of sanding down work on boards and damaging the surface or scraping back somehow.
Started adding primer and colour to my linen off cuts. I will use these to create the collages I thought about this semester, I already feel I am freer in my colour use and gesture, as I know these will be able to be collaged and treated as pieces of a jigsaw and not a ‘grand’ painting.
