Life Drawing 2

In Y1 Observation and Analaysis module, I attended extra life drawing sessions to improve my skills further. Working in graphite, I carve out the body from the page. A3

Etching

Exploring how the body can be the language of emotion. This is a dry point etching working with the model. A4

Pastel

First concept pose for distraught emotion. Pastel on black paper.

Life Model Painting

Acrylic on canvas, emotions as a language. 2 days painting from the body, my first experience of this. Never underestimate your lighting.

Screen Print

Further exploring ideas and image.

Screen Print Final

I printed 9 variations of this 9 colour print, due to the nature of using paper cuts for screen printing each is subtly different. This is the most successful, as it features dry paint drags and overlaps that work well to convey my message that we all cannot be fit into a box, each person is organic and unique.

Screen Print
