Initial Body Painting Session. Acrylic


This is a piece I produced from my initial body painting session. Although I want this painting to remain fairly ambiguous, attached to this painting is the emotion of anger. I chose to use a monochromatic palette for this piece, for I felt that I wanted to pay the most attention to the methods of mark making and the textures of the paint as opposed to the colour. However upon saying this, I find that the colours compliment the mark making by amplifying the strokes and thus giving the painting a harsher feel. It felt so freeing to produce such a piece. I think that I would like to present this piece alongside the video of it in the making. I have used the editing software of 'Imovie' to speed up the pace of the video to make it more emphatic.
