Large painting with lots of scab/scars:
I was going to use a few different colour themes to put variation in the painting, but didn't like how it was looking so ended up painting over them in the same old orange/yellow/brown combo. I have made the squares a bit different by having variation in shade and the dominant colour. I need more impasto to continue with it, I also need to put a very light wash over the top with red in it. I have been building it up with layers, first a dark or light layer, then impasto moulded with hand/finger prints, then a layer using my colours rubbed in with hands, and then a wash over the top with same colours and some splashes of red. This is where I'm up to so far. Not happy with how it looks yet but hopefully with more layers it will build up like the other one did.
Large painting of my figure:
I think I will scrap this one. I used permanent marker to scribble an angry looking figure on it, then put a wash of red over the top which got rid of the weird shine from the marker in certain light. Then I used impasto mixed with blue and red to do a rough figure over the top.
From doing this I realised I can incorporate my rough angry scribble style into paintings, because having the wash over the top gets rid of the funny coloured shine, which brings me to my next painting.
Angry self portrait over paint:
I am using a board the same size as the paper I was using while drawing my angry faces. So far I have painted it dark blue as an undercoat and put impasto over half of it in hand print texture until I ran out. I am going to paint over it in the same style as scab paintings and then have an angry self portrait scribbled over the top in permanent marker. I am nearly at work now so have to finish up. Here are some pics in a random order of everything I 'be been talking about.
