Total Alignment painting

I took a better picture than this one - see later on in my photostream!

Started off by prepping the paper with gesso just to give it a bit more tooth (the paper I'm using is a bit cheap).

 

Wrote words with a 3B pencil all over. Started with the big red shapes, then added some green.

 

Decided (probably too consciously) to do a figure. Added more green around her head.

 

Got stuck quite a few times, then hit on lilac coloured hair. Got stuck again, decided to make her body white.

 

Struggled to know what to do, so eventually just stopped.

 

I found this a lot harder than abstract as I just didn't know where to go with it.

 

Still enjoyed it though!
