Opacity
Getting rid of line and focusing on shape has made me think carefully about how I fill in an area of space. I looked into using the paintbrush to leave marks that overlapped and built up new colours through turning the opacity down. I really like that the background can still be seen through the layers of paint, there is a nice contrast between the brush strokes and blunt edges of the hand. Working like this is similar to just cutting and sticking paper, it feels natural to work in this way and I definitely prefer it to focusing on line.
