Studio progress, 1

For Phase One, I want to experiment with different applications of paint and painting on a variety of surfaces. What painting techniques can I explore? What materials can I incorporate into my painting? How does paint react to different surfaces and textures? I want to explore texture in painting.

This week, I made two paintings from the same photograph from Shanghai. For the first painting, I tried to focus on not over-working brush strokes. I tried to make one mark and move onto another. I often overwork paintings, and this is something that I was to change. The second is a gesture painting on a wet background.
