Of the four prints I took from the mountboard plate, one sold and three remain. I’ve decided to work concurrently on these remainders as one complete idea. The following is the point which I reached today. I stopped to blog the work so far because I believed it could benefit from thinking about overnight. IContinue reading “Assignment 5: Personal Project Nos 4,5 & 6”

Oops! Sold it
This is my Assignment 5 project as it stands. However, it is no longer in my possession: I sold it. This leaves me with the versions in blue and in purple to develop using similar methods as those used for the above. I chose to print this image rather than use coloured crayons or anyContinue reading “Oops! Sold it”
Experiment No 4 Assignment 5: Personal Project: Hypervigilance in Blue
I just managed a further couple of prints off the mountboard plate before it began to lose its integrity. Parts began peeling away from the plate as the final print was removed. I intend to use parts of a previous print, from the sectional plate I did earlier, for a collage. These are in aContinue reading “Experiment No 4 Assignment 5: Personal Project: Hypervigilance in Blue”
Experiment No 3 Assignment 5: Personal Project: “Hypervigilance”
This is how far I’ve got with this. I have finished cutting the plate and have taken my first two prints. I discarded the very first for now as water based ink soaks into the plate and comparatively little onto the paper. My plan is to use mixed media and collage techniques to add depthContinue reading “Experiment No 3 Assignment 5: Personal Project: “Hypervigilance””
Experiment No 2 Assignment 5: Personal Project
This first stab gets me thinking. It’s not the clearest print. What I think I’ll do is print all boards in a different colour onto one sheet of A1 cartridge paper. I’ll then collage on areas of this print – such as the eyes as far as the edges of the lenses on the glasses.Continue reading “Experiment No 2 Assignment 5: Personal Project”
Experiment No 1 Assignment 5: Personal Project
I began thinking about this project at the beginning of Part 4 of the Drawing 1: Drawing Skills Module. Initially I thought about creating a cubist style drawing of multiple views of women in superimposed yoga “warrior poses”. But I decided this may be biting off more than I could chew right now. Cubism isContinue reading “Experiment No 1 Assignment 5: Personal Project”
Part 4: Project 6: Exercise 3: Portrait from memory or imagination
A1 mountboard with kraft paper applied with spray mount adhesive. Coloured pencils. Having today already finished a self portrait for Exercise 2: Your own head, as follows: …I felt the need to play and have a bit of fun next. Influenced by looking at Pavel Kuragin’s drawings and collages, I took a leaf out ofContinue reading “Part 4: Project 6: Exercise 3: Portrait from memory or imagination”
Part 5: Personal Project Prep
As part of my Personal Project for Part 5, I have set out to devise a path or process to produce a print/ mixed media drawing of my face/head. For the benefit of testing out an idea for this, I have produced the following design. Its not the prettiest image. But for the sake ofContinue reading “Part 5: Personal Project Prep”
Assignment 4: Seated Figure: Line
Similarly to my reclining figure, I found it extremely difficult to separate line and tone in this drawing, which is meant to be line only. My mark making became a little impatient. I spent 90 minutes all told on this. I needed to visualise areas such as the hand on the left side (as seen)Continue reading “Assignment 4: Seated Figure: Line”
Part 4: Project 4: Exercise 2: Standing figure
I originally did a life drawing class in place of this exercise. As my model was available today, I felt the need to add a more involved study. The following is roughly A1 size kraft paper using chalk and coloured pencils. As I was drawing in the morning on a bank holiday, I felt myContinue reading “Part 4: Project 4: Exercise 2: Standing figure”
