However, need to commit and see what happens...
Working up landscape from sketch made on Isla del Sol, lake Titicaca.
Field Sketch
1) First painting attempting to convey something of the heat and space experienced - result too literal, pinks not that warm.
2) Second attempt more fluid and tighter palette
Considering version 3 to be more abstract. Discuss with VB who suggests experimenting with collage. Produce own coloured sheets as basis for collage palette.
Also referencing back to Robbledio painting from Extramadura -interst in relationship of development to topography. Links to south America as many of the conquistador footsoldiers came from Extramadura which, then as now was one of the poorest areas in Spain
Collage picks up on village form, derived from Robbledio sketch, to some degree. Discussion with JH suggests looser approach addressing colours/ shapes/ space without referencee to anything else.
Sketch / painting/ photo
as source material
Collage process quite liberating
First collage using painted sheets, then cut/ torn
to provide largely random shapes
Attempt to express central spine of village
