I wanted to the colours and lines of the drawing to interact with one another, to give the piece energy and an expressive quality. Drawing the figure from life at first then moving on to adding the bright colours is a move in a different direction for me. Rather than interpreting the colours I see I am creating the colours, which when making the piece feels much more free and unknown to me.
