On the left was my next attempt at oil painting. As I still wanted to base my project on Identity, I decided to do a more in-depth study into the personality of my model. She loved geography and was keen on preservation therefore I thought a study of landscapes would help create the perfect palette for my piece. On the right are some examples of my development. Throughout this stage I was keen to experiment with a range of mediums, such as palette knifing, brusho and collage, as my personal study prompted me to increase my skill base. These pieces all helped me decide that I should predominantly use greens, yellows and browns as my main colours however the top painting of cherry blossom made me also use pink as I believe cherry blossom capture a certain beauty, a similar emotion my friend has to the entirety of nature. This emotion was one I wanted to preserve, just as my friend wants to preserve the beauty of the environment. Overall I was happy with my final piece however I think an increase in different tones would have produced a better outcome as definition on the face would have been clearer.After I wrote this post, I decided to add trees into the background as I felt it gave a stronger connection to the identity of the model.
