Before I start on my actual project, which will involve abstraction and a larger canvas, I wanted to model a painting after a known Abstract Expressionist to gain a better sense of this art movement. I choose a Canadian painter: Jean-Paul Riopelle, whose art first caught my attention last year at the Hirshhorn Gallery. Riopelle uses oil paint directly from the tube and a palette knife, emphasizing repetition and texture. I began this sort of process this week. Starting by dabbing down one color and just adding layers. I am trying to make sure that the paint sticks out from the surface in the Impasto style, creating an interesting texture.
