stage dos: experimentation

Well I researched Creffield and Monet, and experimented with combining their styles, to produce a new and wicked style of my own.. i liked Monet's use of colour, as his impressionistic style uses colour in an abstract way to represent certain lighting at different times of the day and different perspectives of the same thing.. and i liked Creffield's spontaneity and rabid strokes, which also seemed influenced by times of the day and weather. i attempted to put these two together to create my oil pastel colourful church thingy bobby.. I'm not finished developing my style because Im not completely happy with it yet.. i don't have photoshop so i have to resort to going back to pencil and paper :( its very depressing.. and i dont have a great amount of materials either.. but i wanted to do my final project on paper with chalk, charcoal and oil pastel.. with a composition of colourful (outside) churches, and then deep and lugubrious (haha) inside churches with chalk and charcoal, because the church CONTROLS people both on the outside (visually) and on the inside (spiritually).. so yeah..

copying monet's painting of rouen.. bit of a failure, but i like the oil pastels..: this was me having fun in england, with a style i just started to use when continous line drawing people on the street.. i thought it might work for churches but i decided it didnt..:

copycat of Creffield's inside of a cathedral, i like it especially because it fits so well with my photographs of the church in Vienna, (cheers Mr M):

using Creffield's style with my own photos.. my sexy new style.. im quite liking it..

just seeing how it looks with water-soluble graphite.. nothing special.. :

inside of churches, using Creffield's style (one on white paper, one on black sugar paper):
my sexy new style even bigger... not sure if it needs another colour? any suggestions?
