FMP Exploratory Shoots

Just a select few pictures from various shoots I did while exploring some initial ideas for my Final Major Project:

More little pictures

I did some more little watercolor pictures, playing with ink as well to define, black silhouetting, making grooves in the wet paint or whatever.

SouthAfrica outcome two

I was exploring South Africa and Alice in Wonderland (don't ask) in relief printing and decided to see where a different composition took me on a canvas. I experimented with layers, so there is acrylic, varnish, wax, copper leaf, etc.

University Portfolio

I've taken out some of the life drawing and some of these images I've posted before, but hopefully they are better presented this time (as in mounted, etc.) My aim is to show a variety of work and skills.

 

 

Lost and Found

Here are some random and rather eclectic sketches, paintings, doodles I found.

A few water colour techniques I did back in November 2010 with various pieces of fruit:

I went to a cafe and copied the coaster design:

Some bugs and insects I doodled in ink with a quill:

 

I also experimented with smudging paint with my fingers:

I saw 'Wicked' over the summer and was really inspired:

The rest don't really have an excuse, they are what they are because I had the time and I wanted to:

        

  

South Africa

I haven't actually been to SA, but I've been doing a bit or research for a project and here are three paintings I whipped up today for my sketchbook.
