Some old colour tests I found which are really pleasing to me! Liquitex acrylic on orange paper.

Another abstraction, allowing this to develop more freely. For this series of paintings I am choosing to mix colours at random from a limited palette of Yellow Ochre, Vermillion Hue, Primary Blue and Titanium White.

Carrying on with the abstraction of the bus drawings from memory, really liking where this is leading.

Drawing from memory, inspired by Kandinsky’s fascination with the primitive.

Really enjoyed this documentary! Very informative and interesting :) Part 1/6 on Youtube.

Ever since quarantine, I have really missed the bus. It became a tranquil contemplative place for me to clear my head and practice observation - looking, drawing, documenting, writing poetry, journaling, and meditating.

Having this been taken away, I decided to continue with this space from memory. Here I jotted down the basic shapes I could recall, thinking about form and color. I then placed the painting atop various different shades of red backgrounds to see how it affected the colours and overall feel of the painting.

I am unsure of the colours in this study however I like the texture of the brush marks used. Further experimentation can be seen in following posts!
