Week 3-4
Week 3 has been a flicking between finishing my Mock Black painting and data collection and compositional testing with the left-over paint in anticipation to talking to Cortney’s graphic arts class. It’s important to note I don’t just think about what I am doing but test ideas both digitally and materially. When you start pushing paint around there can be happy accidents that inform your next step.
In responding to my walks around Don reserve I need to note I have been also thinking about Ken Whisson an extremely influential Australian painter for me personally passed away this month. He had this unique ability to make every element in his paintings equally important, there was no hierarchy of importance. So I have been thinking about his legacy while playing around with my elements.

A serendipitous moment, Sonia is teaching about thumbnail sketches as a tool for working out compositions, so I thought I would try a few via Procreate to see what I come up with.
