figeating excersise

An edited extract from an exercise in the live streamed course "Paint Fit" filmed in Autumn 23. Emily makes 2 paintings live on camera. Folllow Emily as she shares her thought processes while she demonstrates live to the students on the course. "Paint Fit" happened over two weeks with a one hour taught session every day to help artists feel focused and armed with processes to make their own paintings. Credit for the exercise goes to John Skinner who many years ago introduced her to the possibility of using sensation as an ingredient for the language of paint. Emily, amongst many other artists, have benefitted from his inspirational teaching both in his studio in Dorset and more recently at the Seawhite studio.

Hi! This is an abstract painting exercise where you make marks and choose colors based on the taste and experience of eating a fig. She is referencing colors and marks from plants and flowers in her work. It's not an actual "thing" but eludes to flowers and nature due to the colors and shapes used. In the end, it's a play of colors and marks to make a pleasing composition for an abstract painting that gives you a feeling, vibe, or mood and isn't necessarily meant to depict any one thing. I hope this helps!
