These pieces are the first time I used oil paints. They are so different compared to acrylic which is what I usually use. Due to this I really wanted to explore their versatility, and how I could use them to progress my work. As I experimented I was increasingly aware of how I could produce depth and extremely flat plains of colour. Some of these paintings also contain wax, which worked really well in creating texture. Making the pieces in to relief artworks, looking back I could have developed this 3D element a lot further, possible creating a 3D representation of the original paintings. Since this initial dabble with oil paints I have not re-visited them, depending on where my practice develops over the summer I may try to include oil paints back into my work.
