In-between commissions I've been experimenting with the materiality of oil paints throughout August and September; venturing into palette knives, painting on hardboard and impasto techniques. I've been doing a lot of thinking over the summer and alongside my art courses at university, I have really been craving a personal portrait project of my own. With this, I am excited to announce a new series in the works titled 'Generation Y'! There will be a follow up blog post coming soon with more information about the series and what it entails in more detail, but for now here are a few progression shots of an experimental painting I completed recently.
