Sekkaido - 2012

F20 wood - Acrylics

I was pretty content with the final piece. It's no Matisse but for a first attempt I was satisfied.

I'd gotten wind of the competition 2 weeks prior to the deadline and so needed to work fast. Choosing an F20 format and a limited pallet would cut costs and save time.

Following the theme of "Planet Peel" I looked for vibrancy and movement and also immersion which foreground and background action.

If I'd had more time before the deadlines I'd have spent more time on the pencilling, as looking back, there needed to be other elements such as flowers or insects to make the context clear.
