I started studies of 32 swan hill road this week. I started off by approaching the first study the same way I had previously with the 8 field road studies, where I drew out the house and blocked off areas in which I knew I wanted to be separated by color change. However, I wanted to try something different and these two studies happened ...
in these studies I first applied thin layers of paint by blocking off different sections of the paper, then drew the house on top of the thinly painted blocks of color and went back into the study to apply thicker layers of paint, defining the area that is the house. These aren't done yet, and they are a little too messy for my liking. I will continue to work on these and post more pictures in the future.
in all these studies I kept the same color palette which is reminiscent of this house. 32 swan hill road is the house that my older sister currently lives in, but it is my grandmother's (on my father's side) house. I do not have a strong relationship with that side of the family and that's what I want this painting to show. However, I do have a relationship with my sister, who lives there now, and I feel as though she is the only connection to my father's side of the family. I need to make that clear as well.
