Yves Klein's famous use of blue monochrome in his paintings, massively influenced me with my use of colour in my work. I have decided to take on board Klein's use of monochrome and transfer this using old masters works i have been studying. The uniqueness of Klein's paint doesn't derive from his ultramarine pigment, but rather from the matte, synthetic resin binder in the colour is suspended. This then allows the pigment to maintain as much of its original qualities and intensity of colour as possible, resulting in high quality colour like Klein's paintings.
