I am proud of my final outcome, and I think it’s cool to see it displayed so nicely as I have never done that before. I think I came up with a way that my work fits well together because I was having trouble with it before such as the colors. this painting brief was really fun as I found I had a lot of freedom to do what I wanted and I think that I show that in my work, because of this I found myself looking forward to painting class and when I had free time I would just come paint. Because it didn’t feel like a chore I had fun with it resulting in work that I am happy with.

reflecting on this brief I have learned so much such as processing images, incorporating verbs into every movement whilst painting, displaying, and the thought process of selecting paintings.

looking at my final selection I have a few paintings that I defiantly want to display and a few that I am unsure about. there are a few reservations that I have with the colours because all of my works that I have selected so far are cool colours except one which is warm toned so I am having trouble finding where it fits in our if its best just to leave it or replace it

WALL ONE

on the side maby.

WALL TWO

before we started to paint we selected some images of all different varieties and do a sketch then only focus on the highlights than the shadows and the darks, then do another but putting the shadows and highlights together then another with a mid-tone.

I have never done anything like this before I start painting but I think that it really helped me get to know the image I was working with and really understand the aspects of that image. this also made it a lot easier when it came to the actual painting because it made me more confident and also gave me a different perspective of the image. I think this will now be essential in my painting process from now on.

EXPANDING

after doing all the studies and then developing them onto a bigger canvas with a background, I found that all of my works were very simple and were just the object and nothing else, so after class discussion, I wanted to expand even more by adding more sounding information.

for example, the image of the man that I had been painting I went from a very complex image then to start off with for the 5 studies I simplified it to one boy, then when I expanded it I left the background simple but doubled the boy in the image and flipped them around. I really like the way this turned out but I still think It needed more so that’s when I went back to the original image and added more information.

Elizabeth Peyton

I love the simplicity and attention to only major this such as darks and lights. I also really like the watercolour feel.

Michael Armitage

Armitage’s work really caught my eye because I love the attention to detail, as well as the vibrant yet pastel colour palette. the outlining is also something that is not often seen especially in thises vibrant colours.

Wilhelm Sasnal​

the simplicity and use of space are really interesting (in a good way), I love the dry-looking brush strokes in comparison to the tine objects in the painting.

Luc Tuyman

Tuyman seems to like working with very pale natural colours as well as simplistic line work and shading.

Marlene Dumas​

Marlene Dumas​ seems to paint lots of unrealistic-looking portraiture, with a variety of colours, I love the way that her work is unpractical and free.

Francis Alys

I like how he focuses on the fine lines work and what to me looks like blocking of colour because it simply’s the images but yet adds so much detail. 

Jane Callister

This really interests me because although it shouldn’t make sense as the viewer you can almost understand and read the image, and understand what the artist is trying to portray imideatly.

Merlin Carpenter

I really like how Carpenter demonstrated layering, as well as having the background as something that’s not relevant to the image itself.

Peter Doig

After looking at Doig’s work I noticed that they like to focus a lot on water reflections which I think looks really nice. I also picked up on the wet drippy look his work gives as if he works with lots of thick paint. 

Garry Hume

 I love the blocky simple look of Humes’s work, yet it’s so effective, aside from that there is something that draws me in although I can’t put my finger on what it is that pulls me in.

Yan Pei-Ming

I like how realistic and powerful these paintings and I find it interesting how clear the brush strokes are yet it still looks so realistic.
