Ova – 24x 30 Acrylic and Gesso on Canvas,
by Jennie

Apologies about the rather emo post yesterday, I am experimenting in some new media, working completely outside of my normal sphere of knowledge or control. most of my techniques have evolved from practices I have been working on for years. Now, for the first time in a very long time, I am working in something completely new and different. a media that is very temperamental with completely alien control.

The thing about testing is that it helps you gain experience and work out all the kinks before bringing it into the real world. it’s good to have these bad experiences now and work out where you went wrong before destroying a proper piece. I am learning all the time but it is exceptionally frustrating, especially when it all goes horribly wrong. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and when something doesn’t go right (or wrong in the right way) I come down hard.
