Similar to week one in the workshop, We were asked to paint a study without the aid of a pencil, however this time we painted in water colour. Using a similar setup to week one also, we sketched out the outline of the study, aiming to fill the whole page, with a paintbrush then filled everything in. I aimed to use bright colours to make certain areas stand out, such as the pink table cloth and the dog. After painting everything We had a fine liner to sketch in any extra detail; for example, I made the feathers more defined by adding wisps with short strokes of the pen. I also defined the skull by blending the pen afterwards with some more water.
To make it appear more realistic I added a darker pink in areas of the tablecloth where it curved around the box underneath.
I would say I was influenced by Henri Matisse also in this painting, as I used the bright colour scheme he used in his work. I also aimed to be more imprecise with my lines. Like Matisse, his work is full of expression and that is what I aimed to create. Personally I enjoy to be more precise and use a pencil when sketching, but nevertheless I enjoyed doing something out of the ordinary.
