Today was our first studio practice, and our group is beginning with painting. There are three main things which we are beginning to look at: lines and marks, areas and edges, and layers. Simon said "Paintings are made up of a number of marks made with paint", and that is what it is. However, this week we are intending to strip it back even more, right to the basics and try to understand how a painting is made. Down to: what was the intention of that brushstroke? Why was it that thick/ thin? What effect does the painting being transparent in areas give?
