Cy Twombly sketchbook studies

These studies are inspired by the work of Cy Twombly who I previously researched as well as analysing his work "Mars & The Artist" which was the main influence for the first two pages. For these studies I used biro, sharpie, pencil and oil pastel. On the first page I explored Twombly's technique and stylised handwriting as well as his expressive marks and symbolism. On the following page I explained my process of making studies of Twombly's work. On the final page I continued my studies of Twombly's work in different mediums. I feel these studies were successful as I really captured the textural element of Twombly's work through my layering of different mediums then scratching into the oil pastel. I would like to continue experimenting with oil pastel as I liked the effects it gave when blended and layered as well as the textural elements. I also like Twombly's use of red to contrast the muted pale colours he uses in the background and would like to incorporate this into my own work.
