Experimenting with colour

My final piece idea is to create a background using expressive marks in red, yellow and green. As I have not used colour in much of my art work I decided to experiment with how I can show them in the best way. Vibrant colours will be hard to show without making it look over done. I began by using card to drag the colours across the page which gently blended the edges of them. I believe this experiment looked very bold and opaque. Next I used my finger to smudge the three colours. This infused the colours together without mixing them, which looked hallucinogenic. The third small experiment I tried was dabbling the colours onto the page with the tip of a ruined paint brush.

I decided to then change the colours to those of the Jamaican flag. This was unsuccessful as the colours were not as vibrant and I aim to make a "fun", reggae inspired painting.
