This image below began as a simple outlined sketch from my first set of life drawing paintings. I wanted to practice using a spatula in my work and use paint with that tool too. It is an A5 piece of canvas card board. After sketching a simple outline of the females body I then began to paint it with thick heavy colours and not blend them. I did this because I wanted to see how it would look and too highlight and darken certain areas of her body. Also by doing this it has given me the idea to use it in my life drawing and experiment with different sized spatulas and a wider range of paint. I particularly like the thighs as they both show different areas of light and dark and contrast very well. I will defiantly use this technique in the rest of this stage as it links with my colour theory theme and can hopefully somehow progress in a later stage to the metamorphosis theme.
