Acrylic Workshop

We went through some colour theory and how to mix colours accurately in acrylic paints. Before applying this to our artists work and eventually our own experimentations.

Whilst mixing my colours I noticed that I had created this effect as I hadn't cleaned my brush properly and I find the effect it created by dry brushing quite eye-catching so if it happens to occur again I will be sure to take advantage of it . 

At several points during this task i went over my current work with a bit of white to dull down the tones within it before adding another layer of colour

I decided to document my pallet at various stages during my work to show how I developed my colours.

This is the work I created from my artists work trying to work in his art style.

i then noticed that my artist had worked on a colour surface closer to that of the sugar paper I had used earlier so I attempted it again keeping this in mind. overall I felt this outcome to be slightly more successful as it expressed a similarity to my artists work more than my first.

this is the developed experimentation with dry brushing created during the creation of my previous piece of work.

After doing this I attempted to interpret one of my photographs using my artists style of work. I feel this is semi successful as it shows the form of the source I worked from but I feel that if i reattempted it the outcome would look better.
