Oil Study - Artist Statement

The purpose of this study was to challenge myself in two areas, the first was to use oil paintings after having not worked with oil since my college art classes. The second area was to use bright color. I wanted to experiment and branch out into some more exciting tones that I do not typically use. This study consists of twelve total canvases of 8” x 8” to make up a 24” x 36” space once fully completed and placed together. Every painting is different and I incorporated all types of colors into each of them, without following any specific pallet or design, but rather letting myself decide what felt best in the moment. I love how these pieces turned out and I am pleased with my short oil study and how I came away feeling more comfortable with speed, small paintings, and my colors and oils!
