Sketchbook development

I began my sketchbook by looking closely at the details in the images that I had been gathering on pinterest. My approach to sketchbook work has always been quite minimalist, I prefer to focus on one particular aspect in order to emphasise and make a statement. 

Inspiration from the Joana Vasconcelos exhibition, I tried to capture the detail, the colour and the abstractness of her work.

Cy Twombly

A painting by one of my favourite artists that relates to some of the paintings in my sketchbook. I enjoy the glimpses of bright colours mixed with subtle light tones.

Attempting to include painterly approaches to the brief by calculating what colours work best together. Firstly I create a textured surface, then paint onto it in order to see how my designs react with the background.
