I'm thrilled to be taking an abstract painting class for the next six weeks. If nothing else, it is an appointment to paint for a few hours every Wednesday. Sort of like how you could go to the gym by yourself and work out, but it is so much more effective to pay a trainer - then you HAVE to go.
Plus, I love assignments. Something about having constraints to work against/within. Limits to push. Instant focus.
This was a color exercise to paint a piece according to a description of another piece - Rothko in this case. Rothko's work is mainly known for being soft fields of saturated color, sometimes painted/washed directly into the canvas, soaking into the fibers.
My interpretation is, of course, a little different. I too love saturated colors, but also love texture and movement.
