[acrylic, ink on 8x8 stretched canvas]I spent most of today working on little paint sketches, trying to work out some ideas about where I'm going. I usually use small canvases for studies, just in case they develop into something interesting. I am largely playing with colour combinations and composition. I am trying to challenge myself with colour still and will often do a base colour in a colour that isn't a favourite and see where I can take it. This one started with a pink base which is peaking through in areas. I am liking the curving shape and the interplay of fogged out areas with the sketchy areas.

your blog is very fine
Hi Elis,
I like the direction you are taking these, and what a great idea to begin with a color which is not all that appealing to you. I also like to do my studies/experiments/play on good quality supports because you never know.
I like the feeling you are achieving here of peeking through windows from a distant advantage. The curving shape balanced with the strong vertical and horizontal lines composes very nicely. With the same lines you are able to soften them with texture and more shape which adds to the foggy feel you have achieved with the color application.
This is really nice work...good direction you are taking here.
