I've been looking back into Hockney's work, I love his landscape work so much. There is so much life in his paintings. I have started having his work in the back of my mind when i've been drawing from life and I have really liked the outcomes. It's like he is creating whole other worlds just with the shapes and colours he uses.
I've been getting into studying a lot of plant life over the summer, plants are all so different, so I've really been enjoying depicting all the different shapes, and seeing how I can perceive them differently. And I love Henri Rousseau's jungle scenes, there is so much going on, all the plants are overlapping each other it is like a painted collage.
After my PPP work last year, I've been excited to start playing around with collage again. I haven't done much over the summer but I really want to get back into it this year. I find Bryan Olson's collages really dynamic and surreal, I want to be more confident with collage this year.
