From original sketch/ watercolour of the tones and layers within a towel... just wanted to try and find a way to show the complexity of the material, that it is overlooked to have a whole world of texture and life within it.
Starting to see how can use colour and observation skills to capture ideas....and show how like people and landscapes etc it has its own unique form too...
Second try at the idea... again from sketch and painting of the ripples and changes in the structure of material. Was looking at colour and its effect on what I was trying... dark shadowed colours. Found it started to remind me of animals... I can see a bird with a tail and a dragons head and reminds me of how bats sleep in the bottom image. Perhaps the way fabric folds is similar to how people or animals move...
First Canvas Rough Design Idea
Quick painting looking at just the abstract shapes that have been in previous work, flowing shapes and how they effect the space of the painting and its structure... also looking at darkness and light as to the influence of the overall piece... dark organic or clean shapely material...
Ideas on fabric and shape
Originals are collages... thinking about how I have created shapes in previous paintings, how observation of cloth and material becomes shapely and structural. So these simple pieces are focus on the organic like shapes they can be. Having shadows, or beginnings of movement...
Also started to add a few words that relate to emotion or reality, as whole foundations of looking at material was that it holds many properties that animals or plants have....(life)... so starting to look at how the shapes that the material makes has physical and emotional properties, e.g: recoiling, drawing back into itself...or the opposite of flourishing and a flowing position.
