We had a brief introduction to the module, outcomes and dates.  This year is really get all the experimentation done before Christmas so the techniques and outcomes are refined enough to produce good quality work.

So what am I concentrating on and where am I going?

Thankfully I have more of an idea than this time last year.  My inspiration is still horses, they are such a part of my own story, I want to try and share their grace and beauty and gentleness in my art.

My  style is pretty loose, I don’t want to create carbon copies of my reference images, I want my references to give me a place to start not be the place I finish.

This year I want to improve my techniques and experiment with printing techniques and photography development.  I also want to concentrate on using a limited pallet, that utilises natural pigments and make my own paints. 

How do I link the looseness of my painting style through to everything else?  The softness and kind of abstract essay with the hint of something realistic…..

I need to do more painting and get samples of what I do out there if I want my art to be seen.
