Inspired by Joseph Mallord William Turner, I used the brush technique to give an airy feeling. The colours are like thoughts in the background. Different feels of warm and cool colours. “[C]olor exists only through other colors. This is the basis for all color theories.” – František Kupka. I used gouache for a better blend with water and being more opaque. Using pastel to create a women figure looking away from the flower in her hand.

After this artwork I used the leftover gouache from the pallete to create this abstract piece mixed with the masking fluid I was going to use. I poured most of the palette into the middle with the masking fluid going down the work. On the sides are repeatitive the same colour going down the line like a list of generations. The masking fluid in the middle symbolises those who are going through the diasphora experience.
