Turkey- Summer 2010

During the summer me and a friend went on a weeks holiday to Gumbet, Turkey. AMAZING fun and beautiful place.
I'm planning to go back mid-eurotrip next summer.
When i was away i took a few photos i could develop into interesting paintings. I also thought i could take advantage of the scenery and base my summer project on Turkish sea landscapes.









I thought these images could be developed into both interesting fabrics and paintings. I wanted to capture the colours which seemed to seep from the sky into the sea. The silhouette of the buildings and hills could act as an interesting focal point in a composition.
I thought i could maybe encorporate elements from previous photos i'd taken during the holiday.




I decided to look at the shapes of the boats in attempt to create a stronger composition. This would allow a contrast between the soft, natural colours of the sky and sea against the hard, linear structure of the boats.
Over the past few weeks i've been playing about with these ideas and painted a few canvas's and fabrics.
