Developments

Some more developments to help me understand the paths which I could take painting forward.

1st image - acrylic pen on A4. I overlapped all the tracings I had so far at that point to see what the final shape would be. I wasn't too keen on the result so never took it forward.

2nd image - tracing paper, acrylic, acrylic pen on A4. I was happy with the results of layering I was trying to achieve. Next time I would be better using acetate instead of tracing paper so the product would be clearer. Of all three studies I believe this is the strongest. However, splitting into layers did make me visualise this being taken forward into screenprinting. Something I am strongly considering.

3rd image - mixed media collage on A4. I've enjoyed working with mixed media in the past so felt natural to make this. I do like the shapes created but overall looks quite messy and rushed. After this I've put collage/mixed media on hold for now.
