More mark making

From the title you can probably see that this piece was more mark making. I felt that I had not studied my artist work for long enough, therefore still didn't have a really good understanding on how they create their pieces of work. I began this piece by covering the centre of the page in cold grey. I had decided that for this piece I wanted to work from the inside out. I feel that by working like this I can create more texture hence creating more layers. Once I had make my block colours in the centre of the page, I chose the add the colour deep ochre around the edges making sure that I create the same striking marks that both of my artists create. Also I chose to use the colour deep ochre in particular because it can be easily changed from light to dark using water. This gave me the freedom to change the colour from light to darker on different parts of the piece, which helped give me piece a lot more movement that I thought I would originally create. I waited until the piece was dry before deciding to add the final colour, which was yellow light. I really wanted to experiment with painting with different materials such as sponges or cardboard. Instead I found something much more interesting. A fork. I dipped it into the yellow light then moved it across the page, the same way I would if I was holding a paint brush. I really like the effect that the fork created on the page, it added something extra to the piece which I can't identify but know is there.
