My latest work I created during the Figurative Study course at Grays School of Art is called "Contemplation".

First I collected scraps of paper which I covered with acrylic paint leftover
after each art session (because I don't want to waste anything!). Over the years I had quite a pile! I used this
as a collage background and glued it on an A2 greyboard. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of this. It was relatively dark, highly textured due to the layers of paint and had a wide variety of strong colours. Once dry and in
the classroom I painted the model in acrylic paint and gesso. I painted the negative space around her first with gesso, then added dark and light tones in the model.

This process of starting with a very busy background and then "pulling" the model out, is really up to my street because it's very liberating! More will follow here soon...
