Fiona Forbes took a brighter approach to Paul's exercise saying: 'I used fluorescent pink acrylic as a base layer over a discarded painting. As it's a translucent colour, the original image showed through. A few rough marks were made to indicate the brick wall, gate and trees. The grassy field and shadows were painted with loose brushwork and a palette knife to create texture. 7 colours plus white were used - phtalo blue (greenshade), light blue, phtalo turquoise, dioxazine purple, lemon yellow, golden yellow and permanent rose. Mixing some of the fluorescent pink with lemon yellow gave it a real zing. Using bright colours cheered up a dull January afternoon!'
