Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green

An experiment I did this afternoon. It combines the colour scheme from my elastic things with the doodles I did over the last week. It's a bit rough round the edges but I still like it. I may do a series of these. They are quite quick to do although the wilko's yellow is a pain and needs a million coats.

I may do some more of these yet though.

A very clean, more commercial looking painting. Kept vaguely to the project but as this is a gift I've tried to keep it relatively broad and decorative.

Fields of colour fields

Not exactly what I had in mind for the next stage but it was good fun. Much easier that I thought too. I always look at pieces like this and am in awe at the artists understanding of colour.

I've gone for a sort of easy on the eye, could fit in with your decor somewhere approach as this is more of a gift for someone than a conceptual or exploratory piece although I did learn from it. Some of the colours need switching to make it work totally and some need a second coat. I really want to do the background as vertical stripes of the same colour scheme to see how they interact but that could end up being a bit mad for the person who's present it is' taste.

The top one is how it's been completed so far and the bottom 3 are just me playing around with possible colourings in photoshop.
