developed paintings

Leading on from my sketches in my previous post, I started these paintings.
As each piece influences the next, I begin to develop an intuitive approach to colour, tone, and form, and with a diminished dependence on photography, I begin to embody the medium of paint, becoming a physical manifestation of self-portraiture. Placing the figure in my university bedroom, I try to create credible depth in the painting whilst expressing both the freedom and isolation of the student experience in a new city.
