Final Summary

I believe that these chosen works best reflect the different paint/material and image processing techniques I have learned in the Process to Image brief. During this brief, I have learned to generate impetus and to apply it into my working methods and allowing myself to be more intuitive while I am working, rather than being restrictive and pre-determined. I really enjoyed being able to find different ways to apply and create images as it has expanded my knowledge in creating visually interesting works. I found the more work I generated, the more I allowed myself to be fluid and gestural with my materials, I was breaking down the internalised barrier of having my work look ‘perfect’ and teaching myself when to stop before I over-worked a painting. The processes I really enjoyed was soaking paper with paint, mixing paint while I worked and layering paint with pencil. I experiment in different ways to compliment and contrast techniques, doing this taught me how to balance my works with the different techniques I layered, such as thick paint/thin paint, big brushstrokes/thin pencil lines as well as keeping my work really expressive. If I were to continue, I would really love to keep doing bigger scale works (like I had started to do before lockdown) and to lean more into doing abstract works.
