MIDDLE STAGES 1
The following stages in my layered style of painting gradually move into application of middle layers. Often taking much longer to paint these stages are about tonal values, colour, line and shape. Because I emphasise the textural aspects of a composition and juxtapose them with flat abstracted shapes it requires modification of other compositional elements. These stages are often messy as paint is pushed and pulled and poured, objects fade and then part or all of their shape and volume need reestablishing.
Untitled Point Roadknight – early stages. I freely sketched with oil crayon and wash elements of eroded rock face consisting of ” columns ” and ” entablature ” scattered on the sand.
