This is a going to be a large studio painting based on the "Saturday in the Abbey" small watercolour I did last year. If it turns out as hoped I'll try it in the RI with the previous South Aisle pair. I've started to do a pretty detailed undrawing for all my studio watercolours now as I decided that where my work was falling down in the past was if the drawing was in anyway unresolved - this created a wobble in the process where it could go one way or the other. I also like the depth it creates and the reaction the graphite has with the pigments.
the lefthand side will be much darker in the finished painting to create an 'L' shape of dark with the chairs in the foreground.
This week I'm also working on a new painting of the North Ambulatory loosely based on the information gathered from "North Ambulatory (After Matins)" but more detailed, and a completely new large graphite of the big mill stones at Knossos which will make a lovely composition. I'm currently also gessoing up a couple of lovely tintoretto wood panels to try my hand at making some Italian Renaissance style icons for the 2008 Creativity and Soul Exhib. I've ordered some new pigments and loose leaf gold from Cornelissens in London and read my Daniel V Thompson inside out. I'm thinking of an interpetation of the Rearedos from the High Altar, a Madonna and Child and the four Archangels.
