Comments (0) I have updated www.ashwinstudio.co.uk with high res images of some of my earlier mixed media work. Both works andare 2d 3d works that include found objects but also oil paint – they are 3 dimensional paintings:
Oil paint and found objects. Materials include; copper plate, oil, paper collage, wood, hessian and metal off cuts.
Inside Out, is the title for my new painting. I painted it in two sittings, squeezing much of the colour directly onto the canvas and then mixing and drawing with palette knives. I tried to keep the colour as pure as possible and did not over blend. My main concern was the push-pull of colours, shapes and marks.
Abstract oil painting
I plan to update this blog with my new work and work in progress.
Part of Ashley Baldwin-Smith's series of fenland scenes
Recently, I have been working on a series of paintings depicting the fens. I spend a lot of time out in the fens sketching; fishing and walking my dog and it seemed natural to paint it. I have worked in a variety of styles – whatever felt right for the scene, mood, time of day and most of all how it made me feel.
Oil paint and mixed media
I have also been working on a very different series titled ‘recycled art’. For some I have purchased art from charity shops and then reworked them. For others, I have collected found objects and created a number of different sculptures and assemblages.
