Heritage Plant - plantain

Aim: Speed painting

To achieve a quick painting the research does need to be complete first. 

Colours used; lemon yellow, cobalt blue, ultramarine, violet, titanium white, cadmium orange and permanent rose.

I used a textured roller to spread the blobs of paint over the surface paper and allowed it to dry.

A palette knife was used to draw on the textured surface.

Posca pens were used to complete the work

Time taken: 2 hours, but that does not include drying time.

The Blackberry flower Creating a piece of work that has blocks of colour as well as linear qualities. The tonality of the background was taken into consideration. The process The paper was stretched onto a board and given a light wash of sap green. Using 2 individual preserve jars one was mixed with ultramarine and the other violet, in turn they were thrown at the paper, the board was wobbled about to spread the paint. The paper was left to dry overnight. The ground was dark so I directed a spot light on it, thus making the drawing easier. I applied 3 layers of acrylic paint to cover the ground. Highlights were created with POSCA pens. Review Initially just the flower was put up for critique. The idea of creating a diptych came about, so a petal was extended to the work. This made the work more interesting.

  Session/assignment 2 Tim uses a limited pallet of very bright intense hues. Taking inspiration from his work paint a flower/plant that fills the page, touching all 3 sides of the ground. Consider the negative spaces and create a free flowing, energetic composition. Oscar Wilde said, ‘Art only begins when imitation ends’. Doing the research: Quickly done thumbnail sketches helps me work out my composition. A conundrum, the teasel is a very structured plant, so how do I get the painting free flowing? I decided the negative space that is the area around the plant will have to have the movement. Hopefully this will make the image energetic  Process -  I used acrylic extender to do the background, this provided the opportunity to get some directional marks using a paint brush. It took a few hours to dry before I could proceed with drawing and painting the image.

  Challenge  Create a collage from a painting of a plant or plants. When the work is dry, tear or cut the painting up to make a ‘jigsaw’. Construct a smaller image which is rhythmical and vibrant. Photograph of buttercups  Use the photo to do a simple acrylic painting. Simplified painting in vibrant colours Finished collage - smaller, yes, vibrant, yes, but rhythmical ? I am told it has more energy, do you agree?
