Text Development




This is some of the progress I have made so far with the text based works I am painting. I have chosen to paint them over the top of a burnt umber ground as it means that when the final colour goes on, it has some depth and textural interest through the ground being visible still to some extent. I am liking aesthetically how the works are looking even before I paint on the background colours, and I think if time were permitting I would not only experiment with doing black and white paintings but also sepia ones. I am finding it to be quite a lengthy process to do each of these paintings as it takes a while to transfer the text and also paint it in so finely, but I also consider it quite a meditative process of almost colouring in. At this stage I am eager to finish these paintings completely so I can reflect on how they are working together, and also be able to fully dedicate my time to working on the diorama and getting the painted version of it started.
