preparation is important
I will be trying to limit my materials to gouache and pencil and working on paper to a format that is the same size as the large oil painting canvases I have started in the studio. 1650 x 1800 mm
this will help me with composition when I return.
materials include gouache
coloured pencils
watercolour paper or similar some pre prepared with gesso and Sienna wash
some linen off cuts with clear primer as I am taking the Zorn palette…
inspired by Bonnard pencil and gouache en plein air drawings.
also thinking about Arshile Gorky Landscapes 1943-1947 and Samuel Palmer
Reading
‘The Waves’ by Virginia Woolf
‘The Undiscovered Country’ by Russell Ferguson
based on an exhibition covering work created between the mid 1960’s to the present examines the effect - aesthetically and philosophically - of both photography and abstraction on painting’s ability effectively to represent the world around us.
