There was a time when I would have interpreted the Doodlewash prompts literally…and today would have been a picture of an Aubergine. Today’s image is a development of an idea from my sketchbook. I’ve ignored the prompt!
The sketches on this page took roughly 5 minutes each. There is hardly any details and the lines are scratchy and fast. In my mind I can picture them in full colour and I can see what the final image should look like.
The paddle board was dark against the sky, the people were moving with intent and excitement. I had in mind to turn this into a collage piece. I like to create images in threes and this would be joined with a boat at sea and perhaps a diver or a beach rock pool adventure. The ideas are still developing and this is how I work. I’m never sure of what I want to create, inspiration flows from one sketch to the next.
The next step for this image will be a larger version that will iron out any compositional details. Stay tuned this may be a new series of paintings…
Day 14 Complete.
