A new painting from this morning. Watercolour and gouache on paper 25.5cm x 34.5 cm #vardaartistsresidency
Already halfway through #vardaartistsresidency on this beautiful boat and my sense of time has behaved so strangely - in one sense it’s sped by but in the same moment I also feel like I’ve been here forever. I initially put myself under a lot of pressure to make a ton of work whilst on my residency. I spent the past year saving money so I could turn down client work for two months and focus solely on painting. I would say in the last month I haven’t produced quite as much as I had expected to (I am also my own worst critic)but this hasn’t necessarily been a bad thing - there has been a lot to absorb and experience - I’ve had amazing times with the other artists on this residency- @austynaustynaustyn and @bec.agnew and I think I’ll be taking back a lot of invaluable material that will feed into future work for a long time to come. I’ll be knuckling down now for the next few weeks as I make the most of this amazing opportunity @varda_artists_residency thank you @bec.agnew for the 📸
Colour tests - I meant to add this to the previous post as it relates to the silvery palm shadow painting. I spend a lot of time colour mixing - if I don’t know what to paint I’ll just sit and mix colours and make notes. At the moment I’m enjoying cerulean blue and trans red oxide - they granulate beautifully together and create great dappled shadows. 🤓
