I can’t believe this year is over, it feels like it barely happened. I am really proud of what I have accomplished this year. I have explored new avenues of creativity and art that I have never considered or even attempted before.

This brief has been challenging, I have never been a painter, in the past, I would have started a painting and then I would get frustrated and would never finish. I didn’t take painting in high school so I learn’t any techniques or was confident in my abilities. I can’t tell you what came over me to select it, but I am glad I did. This brief challenged me, I wanted to do well and explore an art form I am not familiar with. I really enjoy how we had to process images that we got to choose, what an interesting way to begin a process. I wish now that I could go back and begin again because now I have a better understanding on what I was meant to do.

I really enjoyed the landscape paintings, I found it interesting to paint them in the abstract way that I did. I enjoyed figuring out what brush strokes and marks would make a convincing rock or tree. It pushed me to try all sorts of techniques and marks. One of my favourite parts was the workshops in the print lab. It was so much fun exploring and experimenting with new ways of mark making. How using a screen to make the marks and how instead of putting the ink not only on top but on the bottom of the screen created different marks.

This year has been an intense year, for both uni and personal life. I am really proud of what I have accomplished this year, I feel I have worked hard and really pushed myself. I can’t wait to see what the next two years hold.

Preparation for assessment and exhibition

Work placements

In these images, I explored different ways to display my work.

Final placing for Assessment and exhibition

Research

Rita Ackermann work is fill of colour and marks. I choose Ackermann’s work because I was drawn to the use of bright colours, lines, and layers. Ackermann has developed a unique style over the years, they explore the relationship between colour, form and line. Some would call it a process of disappearance, she draws on canvas primed with chalkboard paint and then washes parts of the drawing away.

Caspar David Friedrich is a painter from the romanticism era. I have always admired his work, and how his landscapes are both details and abstract. He uses oil paints in his work, which shows the vibrance of colour. Friedrich uses large brushstrokes for small details brush strokes. I like how he paints his landscapes with this foggy feel.

I decided to process some new images and create a new paintings.

These studies were done with water colour, I explored the tones and the shapes from the photographs.

I had the idea to combine all three photographs into one painting. I began with the surface, in each picture, there is a grey undertone. Using a palette knife, I scraped a warm-tone, grey paint onto my surface. I wanted this technique to help create texture for the layers to come.

I wanted to explore a new way of adding texture to my painting, and this was by combining sand and paint together. I felt that the third image would help aid to create the idea of the bush seen in the photograph. I really like this idea, I hadn’t used it in any previous paintings and I feel like it is a creative way to create texture but without using a specific brush marks to do it.

Here I began to add layers to the paintings, combining all three together, this was difficult because each photo was a different composition and perspective. I explored with layers between each photo, using the mountains as a guide, and adding in small detail every now and then.

The final result.

The end of the semester is coming up fast! I can feel the stress getting bigger but so far I am quite happy with my work. I have made a lot of large-scale paintings, exploring different painting techniques and ideas. My biggest struggle is taking the risk and adding to the painting and not worrying about how it’ll turn out.

Research

Cy Twombly works use a lot of colours, this is what drew me to them first. Twombly uses a lot of marks in their work, drips and scribbles, splatters and strokes. His drawings and paintings have these sorts of elongated, distorted forms and curves that have been created from these marks. He emphasises this with the layers of colours repeating the same marks on top of it.

Research

Mary Herbert’s works are very fuzzy, it’s very colourful, and Herbert uses a lot of colours and luminance. Herbert works primarily with pastels. She creates pieces that have figures and landscapes that feel like the drift between hazy realms like you are dreaming or waking up from a dream. She uses the pastels and smudges them together, creating the haze and dreamy visions. The layers of colours smudged together creates this texture from the work.

Here are the beginning processes I did for this image. The preparation of the surface, the beginning of painting the figure. I like how I chose to do a warm background and a cold figure. I feel it is a nice juxtaposition and it approaches the image in a different way.
