Initial Experimentation
‘Home’ 2023
Rebecca Lethbridge, ‘Home’ 2023, Pen and watercolour on paper,
September 2023, 12 x 12 inches.This was one of my experimentation pieces where I explored the impact of different shades of the colour brown. While brown is typically associated with ‘nature’, to me it represented reliability, linking to my feeling of reliability when I thought about my home. Within this, the darker shades of brown gave me a real sense of stability, whereas the lighter shades represented my emotions when I moved away from home as they suggested the level of reliability was decreasing. The additional use of negative space and the grey/white in this work allowed the viewer to focus solely on the house and symbolised that part of me did miss living at home.
‘Dorchester’ 2023
Rebecca Lethbridge, ‘Dorchester’ 2023, Pen and watercolour on paper, September 2023, A3.This painting show my work experimenting primarily with the colour blue, and to a lesser extent with black and white. The colour blue symbolises tranquillity, whilst the colour black is meant to represent mystery and the colour white represents purity. However, to me the colour black did not provoke a specific emotion and the colour white created a sense of emptiness within the work. The use of blue did however link to my own feelings of calmness and serenity when I visited this place.

I also enjoyed experimenting with how different colours interacted with each other.
