My tutorial went well, we discussed why I had chosen the painting, where I wanted to take it and any initial ideas that I had. It was suggested that I could look at modern interpretations of death and how death is viewed in modern society. I have found some other artists whose work relates quite well to the painting and I should now go on to look at their work and link it to my own and use it to influence my ideas. I have decided to do the styling part of the project on my own as much as possible because the other half of my project will be very collaborative and I wanted to do the styling bit myself. I talked to Bunny about this and it is totally acceptable for me to do this. Although I will need a model but my boyfriend fits the painting quite well and as the facial features aren't overly prominent he should be a perfect fit. This tutorial was helpful it gave me confidence in my painting choice and I was able to discuss it with Bunny and explain why I chose it. I am now able to develop my ideas knowing that I am heading in the right direction; I can start in my sketch book now and begin deconstructing the painting, researching and gathering ideas to form a concept. Bunny suggested that I now forge forward at a good rate and decide on a period in which to set my interpretation. She said that the costume store may not be much use to me, with all the military elements in the painting. I do want to maintain a degree of the military but I'm not sure actual armour is what I will be using. This tutorial has shown me that I am progressing in the ways I should be and I can now begin to properly formulate my ideas and really begin sinking my teeth into the first half of this project.
