Description
This is my Agnes Martin studio exercise. I started out with a background of light pink acrylic paint. Then I applied Titanium white acrylic paint to lower the chroma of the initial color. I chose to create this painting after the later paintings of Agnes Martin. I think she was very influenced by the zen, minimalist nature of Buddhism in her life. So her paintings are very quiet and almost lacks any loud colors. They are very calm and forces one to calm their mind. This light pink was one of the lightest colors I had in my paint stash so I decided to use it. I wanted to use grey because pink and grey are one of my favorite combinations, but I decided against it. I went ahead and marked off the areas with a lead pencil as she often did. Fixed it fixative so the graphite does not run over. Then I added very little white to the remaining pink acrylic paint, masked off the areas after I divided them into equal spaces with masking tape and applied the lighter pink with a sponge brush. I like the application of paint with a sponge brush as it went on very well and no brush marks! Once again these applications are not as simple as they look. They do take a lot of time and I will have to look at a real Agnes Martin painting to see for myself the intricacies of her technique especially the one in the Tate Museum!
