This weeks lesson was by Tam and focused on using spray inks such as Dylusions. I decided to make my own inks using pigment ink crystals and water and they seem to have given me a similar result. I wanted to create hair with stars and while Tam used a stencil for her flowery hair, I decided to use stamps that I'd made. I tried to graduate the colour from the vivid ink to a muted softer shade using chalks. I wanted my face to look skywards and spent some time thinking about feature placement and the angle of the neck. I do seem to be getting better at this...
As usual the camera doesnt do justice to the colours or pick up the glimmers of the mica paint I used in the hair.
Note to self.... Seal chalk with fixative before drawing over as managed to smudge lead and chalk all over the face!
Tam gave us a composition warm up to get use to the ink qualities and to learn about the rule of thirds and hot spots for placing key features. Especially loved the Autumnal colours as they reminded me of beautiful leaves.
