| Sauerbier Scape Fluorescent Yellow Series 18.10.18 |
In setting the task of developing a new language the method of working in series was utilised. For this process, six or nine small paper supports were fixed to a larger sheet and the paintings developed in line with one another, next, back, below and above. The method develops a fast way of looking at the quality of colour, application (opacity, mark and volume) and surface. In approaching the task, base layers of acrylic were used to set the feel of each series. Greys through to fluorescent yellow. The balance comes in working with these base layers, applying and excluding colours. Above all a different feel to the previous series was desired in each new set. This is to facilitate contrast.

In separating these painting studies, the integrity of the full series is changed. With the full series the eye moves from one to another making connections across the series. In these series the idea of Scape is developed: paintings referencing the contexts yet focusing of the material and methods of painting.
