When visiting the Whitworth gallery in Manchester, we was to focus on the portrait exhibition and focus on textures. I thought there was many different variations of mark making, some more effective than others. I particularly like the painting below and the marks were very expressive and dramatic, but from a distance this all fades away and looks very smooth.
Though I did love the more talented detailed pieces, this painting below really caught my eye, The bold shaped and bright colours. this I realised was a quality that I wanted within my own work, Bright and vibrant that catches eyes.
From the Whitworth gallery I documented the marks made within the art there and have used it within my own work.
