The Green Bird – October 2022

My initial idea for for my A-level course was still-life animals and for this piece I wanted to experiment with biro and colour. I like the detailing I have achieved here and the shading of the green. 

Brown and White House – December 2022

Whilst researching artists for my architecture project,  I came across Phil Dean and linked this piece to his style using biro and white marker pen. I think the contrast works very well here. 

Dark Room – May 2023

I wanted to experience the dark room, so I took some of my photographs and processed them – I really enjoyed this and was happy with the outcome.

Sheep Shed – June 2023

I wanted to compare the biro technique with other mediums and experimented with acrylic paint and watercolour – the look of acrylic is amazing, but this is a challenging product to use and the softer-looking watercolour was easier to blend.

Image Transfers – October 2023

I had been experimenting with 'layering' and tried image transfers as a different method of achieving this. It was an interesting process, but the overall outcome was disappointing as it did not convey the look I wanted. 

Digital Printing – November 2023

To broaden my skills, I used digital printing to learn this more contemporary method. I enjoyed the process and the look of the pieces I created. 

Screen Printing – December 2023

This was a new skill and a new technique which worked very well for me and created an image as I saw it in my head. I was delighted with the results

Pastels – February 2024

Relating my topic of 'Shadows' to a new medium 'pastels', this was a sound product to use to create the 'blurry' effect that I wanted.

My Own Technique – February 2024

Here I have used MDF circles to create 2D and 3D images, finished with acrylic paint similar to the style of Adam Pizuny. The results are an interesting look but if I was to do this again, I would use the wooden circles to create a shadow.
