Exploring ideas with pastels




Finally clearing the clutter from my mind to think and feel my way into paintings for my next project. I think it will be at least eighteen months in the making. I will be taking two weeks out shortly, to go and research, photograph and sketch, which will form the basis of more paintings. I will post more pictures and information as I go along. In the meantime here are some pastel roughs exploring some of my ideas. This is the elusive and scary stage when you can see exactly what you want in your head and you can feel how you want to paint it. The pastel roughs are a start, but now you have to transfer all of that onto your canvas without losing any of it.
