Yeah... so.. This is kinda how I approached this project. I think the most important things were: - the quantity over quality in the initial thumbnail paintings that allowed me to experiment with many different styles - the search for successful elements in each piece - doing a lot of writing about what I like and don't like, as I created them to avoid the things that I don't like in the next piece. - changing the scale that I work on, some things that are done easily on small scale, can be quite challenging on a bigger scale.
As you can see on the bottom left, after making the 4 bigger ones, it still didn't reach a point of interest for me, so I moved on to the examples you see on the right (the ones that I also uploaded to devi). Now I feel that I got something interesting going on and will make a series of paintings in the same theme =]
Also I want to mention that I very much enjoyed and was inspired by the works of and
It's not completely my process, it's only a bit customized to how I work. We were told to do kinda similar thing in class, so it's a proven method, you are more than welcome to try it yourself =]
