Gerhard Richter
I think in terms of painting on photographs as a technique, I prefer Gerhard Richter's approach in comparison with Peter Bonde who started my whole project off.
In this instance the images seem less painterly than those of Bonde which I quite like.
Through the mixture of colour actually on the surface and the texture created by applying the paint in a perhaps more slap-dash manner, I think this artist's approach is more courageous and therefore has a greater visual impact on the viewer as it does for me. It would be interesting to experiment further in my work by applying the paint with different materials to achieve the type of effect seen here in Gerhard Richter's work, perhaps such materials as cardboard etc.
Marc Luders
This artist's approach is even more painterly than any other artist I have looked at in terms of painting on photographs. Luder really incorporates painting into the photo so that at a glance the image would still look like just a photograph. I really like this idea as it makes the viewer study the image with greater depth.
