Description
"Yayoi Kusama Studio exercise" is exactly that a studio exercise done for the MOMA course on Post War Abstract Painting on Coursera. I highly recommend this course.
This is my Yayoi Kusama studio exercise. I started out with a background of Orange acrylic paint. Then I applied Titanium white oil paint right out of the tube. I have posted two views of the same painting to illustrate the difference in paintings look in two different angles. This was a very interesting effect to me. I was trying to achieve the look of a Chinese fishing net against the background of the orange skies at sunset at Fort Kochi, India. To capture the folds of the net I tried changing the medium that was mixed with the paint and suddenly the characteristic of the cells changes dramatically. In the midst of the painting I loved the effect these repetitive marks were making and I almost wanted to stop creating the cells midway because of the richness of the background that peaked through. I will use this technique very soon in an original painting I am thinking up. 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 Yayoi Kusama painting to see for myself the intricacies of her technique.
