So...

I thought i would share some of the things I'm currently doing for Extending Specialist Techniques where I'm diving into Abstract Art/Lyrical Abstraction. Just really messing around with paint and trying to not plan ahead or think about what I'm doing when painting but letting 'in the moment' thoughts and feeling take over and paint. Thought i could take lyrical abstraction literally and decided i would try painting with different music being blasted into my mind to see if that could influence the painting. In the Unit i really want to try and make peices that sometimes i dont understand, and just go with what is coming to me at the time. Letting my subconscious take over. Hopefully there will be more to come here. :)

Tryed to do the background in the style of Gerhard Richter whilst thininking about life and all the voices and memories you can recollect from your mind.

In style of Ronnie Landfield with watercolour though.

Done this whilst listening to Ugly- Sugababes. Not planned but done what i thought right at the time of listening. 

Again using lyrics and song to influence my inner voice into speaking through painting. No Hope - The Vaccines

Listening to Big White Room - Jessie J and names this peice " Confined by my madness"

Tryed to play with watercolour first to try and get Ronnie Landfields technique  abit better before moving on to acrylic and oils.

Using poster paint. Here i just had the urge to paint a red triangle on a green/black background. Really not sure why.

Listening to Save Me - Nicki Minaj

Started thinking about taking out the 'middle man' of the brush and start painting solely  with my hands.

Painted with my hands again.

And Again. I like to get messy with paint if that isn't obvious.

oils

This isn't finnished going to add more and more layers again using my hands. Each time listening to Out of my  mind - B.O.B to see what happens.
