'SATURNINE'
The
different features of Saturn from the Cassini Nasa project
photographs inspired this stylised representation. At the north pole
for example there is an amazing phenomenon of a hexagonal storm.
There is also a storm in the northern sector along with the well
known 'eye' storm in the southern sector. The chevrons are also
represented along with the colour banding. The actual colours of
Saturn are far more subtle of course, but for effect, vibrant
contrasting colours were used here along with various pastels in
places to mirror the blending of colours on Saturn itself. Different
techniques and implements were used due to the detailed nature of the
painting and also to produce the thick layering. Paint was dripped
and placed onto the surface with heavily loaded but fine
paintbrushes, and also sewing needles and pins.
