Having painted now over six weeks, I have worked on a series of pictures exploring local and not so local beaches. I have painted from photographs mostly, but now I can see a definite style emerging.
Acrylic allows for mistakes and change, and I am constantly lightening areas and repainting. Altogether I love seeeing how colours react to one another.
Keeping the brush stroke in a single movement defines the angle and layers the process.
Now I just want to explore more in this semi- abstract method. I’m hooked and it is changing how I view things. I’m constantly observing patches of colour, shapes and light.
My happy place!
