Blue day
Having visited the Dalmatian coast for the first time I was transfixed by the beautiful waters. I am making a body of work based on my visit and will be adding more. I shall be printing and doing more mixed drawing and paintings to provide a sense of place. on this piece I thoroughly enjoyed working in layers of texture, adding gesso and fixing in layers. I think some of these may work well together, I used a mock up image to give an idea.
Swirling shades of cerulean and deep navy dominate the composition, generating an engaging visual experience of fluid motion. The technique of layered brushstrokes is skillfully applied, revealing intricate variations in texture and flow. These elements convey the tumultuous beauty of ocean waves, suggesting a broader exploration of nature's unpredictability. Reflecting broader themes of natural chaos and tranquility, this work bridges abstract expression and environmental representation. The rich, textured surface fosters an immersive experience in the beauty and complexity of water. What deeper thoughts arise when considering the delicate relationship between the untamed sea and the serene atmosphere it communicates?
