After my work on Contrasts and Bands (Blog: March 11th) which sought to utilise colour exploiting a dark background, resolve to limit palette and experiment with grids and spatial properties of differing intensities of paint.
Acrylic on canvas (1430x 940mm)
Ground sealed with PVA and then coat of Payne's grey applied with roller giving interesting 'active' backround without brushmarks.
Grid applied in two intensities one with considerable dillution, the other with thick white 'straight from the tube' .
Placing of 'grid lines' also adds to spatial ambiguity.
Verdict
Reasonably happy with result in that it acheives a certain spatial interest and responds to the scale of the canvas. It perhaps illustrates the importance of 'knowing when to stop' as I believe that further work would not ncessarily have brought further improvement. It will be important to re-evlauate in a few weeks time to see if this judgement holds!
