Foundation Resource 7 - Expressionism and Creating Depth

The brief for the pastel exercises were to express an emotion whilst painting then to incorporate yourself into the image...guess which one is me. I look unbelievably sad but it is more concentration than anything and rendering yourself is difficult when trying to remain objective.

The painting was an exercise in breaking down the planes of the face into blocks of colour and working quickly to retain energy in the brushstrokes.

Verona Graffiti

My finished pieces for the exhbition opening 03 August at Northart Community Centre, all inspired by the old, crusty walls inscribed with more modern graffiti that is evident around the fictitious homes of Romeo and Juliet.
