I first stuck down an image of Francis Bacon's "Painting" I then used a palette of only primary colours to mix the various hues I found in the piece. I then layered sections of these clouds around the image in a collage-like style. It was interesting picking out the very many different variations in hue and tone throughout the painting and I was surprised by the vast variation. This exercise was very useful as I developed my skills in not only mixing colours but also understanding that a single painting holds an extensive variety of colour and it encouraged me to be more experimental with colour and not limit my palette so much.
