I haven't posted for a while, but finally the stick I'm sitting on is getting sharp! I've been stuck on working on large canvases and putting too much pressure on myself to create master pieces on the first go! So I decided to focus on the area I felt the least confident, which was my colour palette. I did the 6 studies above in the complimentary colours to see how I would go at mixing. I have a tendency to be attracted to the oranges and blues, and wanted to move away from those colours. I chose a photograph from our Jandowae trip and painted the rusted old pot below. I feel more confident in attacking my larger canvases now! I can't wait!
