This painting started with fairly angry marks in water soluble crayon and R&F oil drawing stick. I added acrylic ink and paint in yellow, orange and red. I left it to dry, unsure what was needed next.
Eventually I added very directional, quite thick, blue and white lines. The paint needed to dry, so it’s been sitting for the last week – the oil drawing stick still hasn’t dried thanks to our winter weather.
As I’ve been looking at it through the week I’ve felt more and more that it’s related to the winter weather, and the rough sea. Today I started calming down the yellow and orange areas, pushing them back so they’re more sky-like. It’s not there yet, but the direction feels clearer.
