Today I woked on a composition idea, combining elements I’ve studied in my sketchbook so far. I was inspired by a painting by Andre Derain, and I tried to mimick his strokes a little within this painting. I used oils and learnt a lot through attempting this scene by means of technique, and furthered my understanding of the way oils lay on top of one another and how light is colours should be applied over dark as well as experimenting with ‘fat over lean’. I used turpentine and linseed oil as mixers for the paint and some pre- primed oil painting paper.
