Small projects in A4 size are great to work out ideas, and just as a way of keeping in touch with colour and paper. Here I am using a more loose approach to applying the color, more abstract. The simpler result can be quite refreshing. People always make a good subject… the lines are fluid, the challenge is to put movement into the painting with color and ‘splash’.
This is part of an on going series of dance movement. This is one of the designs taken straight from my pencil & graphite sketches I did on location in night clubs in Singapore back when I was staying there in 1999. You can see the sketch in one of the photos. This was an action caricature exercise/ project I worked with for a few years. The works were done on location, inside the clubs, surrounded by jostling crowds and working in dim light. The people were not really posing, just being themselves. This snapshot I tried to capture with pencils & graphite. I finally get around to reworking the wonderful sketches and expanding the idea.
The close up picture is to give a better sense of the paint, paper and the brush stroke. Then there’s the work in progress, including one picture showing how I will work on a number of projects at one time.
