| first painting exploring diagonals and unfinished – like the block colours and the different levels of intensity and looseness |
 |
| Sketch start with pink and cream underpainting |
 |
| Printing ink wash with emulsion and graphite on paper – quite interested in the interaction between background and figure |
 |
| Monoprint on print wash background to play with randomly placing the figure in space |
 |
| Charcoal and emulsion drawing exploring obliteration of figure/background taking over |
 |
| Automatic mark making exercise with emulsion obliteration |
 |
| Emulsion and graphite drawing from struggle pics on coloured paper |
 |
| Mark making with white obliteration on coloured paper |
 |
| Conflict with emulsion and graphite – like the movement and diagonal between the two figures |
 |
| Work in progress – figures beginning to be obliterated – trying to limit colour palette. Oil doesn’t stick well on emulsion background – leaves stain – not attractive |
 |
| Mono print on wash background – works with limited colour palette |
 |
| Playing with interaction between background and figures – obliterating with layers and background. Not sure if this is finished but I like it unfinished – more ‘open’ |
 |
| Painting experiment with diagonals and shadow. Used more drawing lines and head explosion for incomplete body. Don’t really harsh line on ground. |
 |
| Just started work in progress layers. First layer shadow of trees at Cliveden. Second – blue block layer. Third – partial figures wiped into wet paint. I will keep layering to make a really complex background then maybe paint in section of figure in a corner. |
