WATERCOLOUR PAINT

For this weeks task, alongside the acrylic artists we were given some watercolour artists to choose from as well, and again produce some studies using their influence. I chose to study Ambrose McEvoy and Arthur Melville. I really liked Arthur Melville's use of colour and his combination of both precise yet abstract details. 

He has a clear understandnig of perspective, and I really like the loose aspects of his pieces, good use of colour around the piece which ties everything together nicely. Here I produced a study in his style, I am happy with the detail I included however I think maybe I could've added some loose washes of colour around to add to his style.

The other artist I chose to look at was Ambrose McEvoy. ​

I love the spontaneity of these pieces, and their quick improvised feel. I found this quite difficult as it's not a style I'm used to working in, but it was quite enjoyable being able to use very loose marks. The pieces involve very atmospheric lighting so I tried to incorporate that within my studies.
