Following the go ahead on this painting being the style of the book, I have decided to work quite spontaneously. I have sketched a few ideas for themes, but find the real gist of an image doesn't come until I sketch it to size. Also conscious of losing the energy of a piece by re-working and re-working, I have decided to work spontaneously on the images.
Style wise, my main priority is to capture movement and feeling through the shapes. However, I am conscious of my painting style becoming quite "paint by numbers" - filling in blocks. I think it works here, and think I should make a conscious note of keeping things simple so it looks purposeful, not just a little empty.
