Experiments In Photographing Red Paint
I'm trying to replicate the experience of the images I see when my eyes are closed. A sense of the colours and shapes I see through my eyelids.
I started off by trying to paint patterns in red on a canvas. But then I realized that these images seem better when I photograph them out of focus.
I used Winsor and Newton acrylic paints on an A5 size canvas. Mixing paints is something I really enjoy. This is a combination of Naphthol Red Light and Permanent Alizarin Crimson. I can then photographically adjust the colours slightly depending on how I light and edit the shot. The photography, in this sense, adds another dimension to what I can do to create colour.
