In My Room

A large departure from my usual colourful - bordering on acidic - palette, I have been working with just lemon yellow, cobalt blue and cadmium red with white to work with a chromatic grey scale. My monochromatic works such as my charcoal drawing and printmaking have most believably captured my subject, thus working from chromatic greys and focusing mainly on tone seems to be a wise way to develop my painting.
Main influences: Lucian Freud, Marlene Dumas and Francis Bacon.

details - i love how just the simplest marks can form the human body. Often leaving areas blank (such as the toes here) is actually more effective
