- I have done a number of smaller experimental paintings across the space of the year. The main aim for the paintings was to try and achieve the aesthetics from my large scale mural work on a smaller scale.
- I found that I have 2 main approaches to my image making - my painted drippy and vibrant spray paint work and then my more print based and linear approach for smaller scale work. I wanted to see if could maybe tone my large scale painting style down to smaller designs as well.
- Im really pleased with how some of these paintings have come out, I like the drippy and messy effect created by the mixture of medias. I like using spray paint on this scale I think it translates well. I had fun experimenting with some different types of pens with different sizes and inks. One of my favourite discoveries was the super drippy and shiny white where I used a weird needle pen thing to draw it, I really like the effect of this.
- The key thing I wanted to take from these experiments into my practice was just the approach to the line work and shapes that these medias give me. I find my work like this is my most aesthetically pleasing I would like to see how these sorts of designs could maybe translated into more specific and informative projects / briefs as well.
