Non-objective abstract painting.
A weekend practice that feeds back into everything else: colour relationships, composition, and the discipline of knowing when a piece is done.
About the practice
Painting without subject. Colour relationships, composition, surface. A counterweight to digital work that's all systems, screens, and pixels. The canvas is where I learn what a colour wants to do next to another colour, and when to stop.
The lessons travel. Why a button colour reads as warm or cool against a neighbouring surface. How negative space can be the strongest element on a page. How repetition can either build rhythm or kill it. These come from the canvas, then show up in the work.
