The support for my
painting is medium density fibreboard. I am making a shaped support cut (drawn)
with the jigsaw to include imagined elements of the planned painting. The main
feature of this work is, of course, the pewter plate and I want this to define
its own edge on one side of the painting. To this end, two thirds of the way
down the right side, the ellipse-plate-form will define the side. I had to cut
with a jigsaw the curved edge of the plate with quite a sharp bend as is seen
on a 30 degree angle. The plate is also not to be on a horizontal plane to
increase the dynamic.
After acrylic priming
the painting is now started. I am not sure whether to include a complete pewter
plate on an angle or have it fragmented and in two interlocking halves; this
may give it a greater dynamic. The colours are used from the digital research
previously described and using a limited range of system 3 acrylic paints.
