This first painted pastel study was purely experimental, and spontaneous. As I was working and choosing colour, I thought of the Fauvists and the German Expressionists. My link to research here.
In my next attempts for the exercise I will consider more what I am trying to convey, light source, different ways colours to highlight and shade according to my research and also composition and use of space.
This always happens but the one thing I was putting off actually became really enjoyable – even if it was the techniques and colour I was applying that made it so. Further practise will become preparation for my assignment 3
