Statement Of Intent

Statement Of Intent

What I intend to do for my final pieces is, on my canvas, I would paint this image but enlarge it and add more to it.

This is the test painting that I did yesterday.

I intend to paint a tornado in an open landscape, but have a transmission tower and wire poles. My original idea was to add a town as well, but I could not paint the town to the style of the rest of the painting.

My main goal is to paint the painting in the same style as I did to the test painting. I expect to finish the painting tomorrow as I have a full day at college. One problem that I might face is the paint not drying fast enough so that I can add in extra detail. At the moment, the title of the piece that I have in place is ‘A Force of Nature’. I am planning to change the title, but have not come up with the final one yet. I am hoping to think of the title when the final piece is finished tomorrow.I want the title name to have a relationship with the painting.

I will be creating a physical object. The materials that I am working with is Acrylic paint, (White, Black, Brown, Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow) I will be mixing the colours on paper to get the correct colours that I want. For example, grey, light blue, dirty blue, ect. I will be working on a canvas, the size is A3, which I feel is suitable. On the canvas I will draw an outline of the image that I will be painting in black pen so that it stands out and I can see it clearly when painting. I have chosen to use acrylic paint as it is thick and I can paint in a blotchy style and you can see it more clearly. I will be using a medium size paintbrush for most of the painting, then a small thin paintbrush for the more detailed parts. I decided to work on a canvas instead of working on a sheet of card because I felt that it would be more professional and that it would stand out. I also felt that working on a A3 sized canvas would be easier than working on one that is larger. I also have a small amount of time to create it and finish it.

My piece is about the issues of tornadoes. Tornadoes are a force of nature that cannot be controlled. In the painting, I want to show the beauty of a tornado, but then show that it can destroy things. I want the viewer to have the same view on them as me, as people don’t fully understand them. Tomorrow is the only day that we have been given to complete the piece. I plan for the painting to be finished in time. I cannot plan a timetable for tomorrow, as I will be working as I go along, because of the way that I will be painting it.
