William Kentridge

For inspiring and delightful viewing look at William Kentridge's 'Anything is Possible'. I have to learn how to post links!!

Inspired by Beatriz Milhazes's techniques

 In our painting workshop we looked at Beatriz Milazes paintings and we leanrt to make our own acrylic stencils that we then applied to our paintings. My paintng is the right way up in my file, however it does not want to download to the blog the corect way up!

Encaustic painting (using wax coloured with oil paint and wax crayons). We gained inspiration from Jasper Johns work. I would like to experiment more using collage and fabric with this technique!

Painting workshop

We looked at the work of Simon Hantai and experimented using his techniques.

This is a self portrait titled 'BILLS'. It is in response to a weeks project where we had to create a drawing that was outside of our comfort zone!

Sketchbook pages

These are a few examples of work in my summer sketchbook. I have not restricted myself by following a particular style, but have rather enjoyed a more playful approach to using materials and exploring ideas. I chose ladders from being a little obsessed with the restraints of Health and Safety rules surrounding ladders; also because of my on going interest in objects. My work so far on the topic “connection” has been lightweight. The straight line drawing of ladders I found frustrating!
