Review for the Observational Drawing


Review/Reflection
1)      Experiment  of oil pastel – A3
This is probably my favourite piece of experiment as the technique of oil pastels  conveys the style of Aja’s painting really well. This art work is inspired by this artist as I liked her style of abstract expressionist painting. The work I've created is done by oil pastels in which I've drawn in various lines of different colours that show the dark colours to light to represent the cold areas to warm areas.  There’s is  bit blending involved in some areas to get an evenness of colours through her to show the curviness and the smoothness in which it make the structure more realistic and bold. I've chosen this pose to be developed as it matched the idea of the colours,to convey the warmth and coldness.

2)      Experiment of acrylics-A3
This piece of work is also influenced by the style Aja’s work of art which can be seen through the technique I've used again. This experiment is done through the change of media which being acrylic paint. In this piece of I've wanted to show how the difference between the oil pastel piece and to acrylics, in which I've found that the paint consistency was very light and quite dull and the colours didn't seem that strong enough to be seen and didn't t have an outstanding look like the oil pastel technique. On the other, you can see the blending of the colours together very well.

3)      Experiment of finger painting- acrylics
This development piece is created through finger dipped into the paint then onto the paper which is meant by finger dabbing. This was a quite fun but also finger straining way of painting. It was also difficult to create detail to this piece of work as I couldn't make small parts detail although I have managed to add shading to the figure. I've chosen strong colours for the background as it made the body structure standout and wanted to give dramatic effect . However, I've chosen more of a subtle colour for the figure as it supposed convey the body language in the sense she is lying down and resting calmly . The contrast between the background and the figure also the warmth and the coldness in which again it conveys that she aren't dramatic in this piece of work. I think the work fairly came to good standard

4)      Experiment of soft pastel
This piece of work mainly considers the shape of the woman’s body against the background as I made black shading throughout by rubbing my hands over it.The figure itself was created to be centre of attention as the various stream of colours supposed to convey the different emotion through her as I've created lines that swishes with different colours. I've added a chair, so that she wouldn’t be floating in an empty space. The work came out to really well and I enjoyed working out in this technique.

5)      Experiment in watercolours
This experiment was based on Madison Moore work in which the background influences her style of painting although I've changed it  and gave it my own style of painting in which I've used water colours to express the subtleness The technique I've made for the background was a different wash of colours that gives the same effect of Madison Moore’s kind of style. The figure was meant to be combine in with background but I've decided that the blue lines should come out more and stand out to show the figure in which I've used the a navy blue colour to represent of the organic shape. I've quite enjoyed working on this experiment as I like working with watercolours.
