"Construction 15, Part 2" is done, and Part 1 has its linework all finalised for paint! I know, I know; shouldn't Part 1 be finalised before Part 2?? In this instance; most certainly not. So looking forward to seeing how these turn out when framed and hung on a wall😆 #art #artist #abstract #abstractart #pattern #patterns #composition #colours #fineart #sundaysesh #perthart #perthartist #watercolours #watercolourpainting #schminckewatercolor #saunderswaterford #saunderswaterfordpaper #stcuthbertsmill #kunst #kunstner #norwegianartist #norskkunst #norskkunstiutlandet #inprogress #nofilter #nofilterneeded #paynesgrey #lenemakwana

Chipping away on a couple of different pieces today! Love how the pencilwork turns so strong in colour against the watercolours.

"Construction 11" is finally done! Took me some time inbetween work, projects and commissions but I am happy to cut it off its workboard. Now it is time to reflect, analyse and jot the journey down in words. This is my second abstract and it's made out of watercolour paint and gesso on A1 Saunders Waterford watercolourpaper. No collage this time, just pure exploration of colours, directions and pattern/surface. With the "Construction" series I am exploring patterns, grids, shapes, figure and colour as reflections on conformity and society as well as my own experiences in life, including issues around identity and female placement in the modern world. #construction #art #watercolours #watercolourpainting #saunderswaterford #instaart #instaartist #a1sizepaper #abstractart #pattern #surface #schminckewatercolor #norwegianartist #perthart #perthartist #wednesday #lenemakwana

Been working on this for the last few days, and it is a digital collage of a year old water colour painting I found in my “scanned_process” folder on my iMac. About time to finish it up!!! I tried not to constrict myself while working with it, and experimented back and forward quite a bit. Enjoyed the visual conversation I had with the piece, and as a title I landed on “ Construction”. Possibly the first in a series.... :D

lenemakwana turned 4 today!

Happy Love your Pet Day, everyone!
