Load of Scrap....first coloured attempt.

Comments

Now this is fabulous. Composition etc spot on. Full of movement.

Thanks Gudrun!

Fascinating Fiona.

Love the colours and works well.

So well done, Fiona.

Sylvia, Margaret, Mia thanks very much for your feedback. Any ideas, criticism etc are welcome. From the initial sketches up until what I did yesterday in class, the ideas have evolved into a final image......at last. This image, which I will post last of all will be drawn up on to a canvas, ready for the new term in January, to paint in oils. Thanks again ladies.

Very intriguing , nice work fiona

Really like this Fiona and I'm not an abstract fan either.

This has worked really well, Fiona, interesting composition and colours, and the clingfilmed background sets it off nicely - so different to your usual style! (I don’t recognise any car bits in it!)

Tracy, thank you very much. Me neither Heather but I am enjoying this course.....quite challenging. Thanks very much. Thank you Jenny. The object of this exercise was to not only create the beginnings of the abstract forms but to use textures as well....hence the cling film.

very controlled Fiona and eye catching. You have put a lot of thought into this piece.

John you can say that again! Lol. It took me two hours to work out which way the two crescent shapes would look the most pleasing....TWO HOURS! Thank you very much for your comment and understanding. It isn’t easy this abstract lark!

I find this fascinating Fiona and although I'm not particular fan of abstract I do find this appealing. You didn't happen to find an old Ford fiesta clutch at the scrap heap I suppose? Mine died on me 10days ago and am still waiting for it to be repaired!!

Oh no Carol, hope you get it fixed soon. If you have no luck with your garage let me know and I’ll see what I can dig out of the scrap pile. I might have to draw it before I send it though....lol. Thank you for your kind words, even though I’m not a fan myself, the idea is growing on me.

12”x10” mixed media on Arches. This is the first colour abstraction from my previous drawings of the car scrap. Is it recognisable......it shouldn’t be.....hopefully!
