And here is my final piece.

FMP (26/5/16)

Today I experimented using different amounts of pressure using my oil pastels. My idea was to tape my oil pastel to the end of a long stick and work over my main piece with it from a far distance. This was really good practice for me and gave me lots of ideas for my future piece. The lines looked so different compared to the up close drawn lines and it really added extra to my main piece.

Today I practiced creating some pieces using inks. I did this after being inspired by several artists. These ink paintings have been created by dripping random spots of ink and soaking it up using tissue paper. Also I have experimented with painting shapes using the ink and a paintbrush.

Today I worked back over some work I created on canvas. I thought that they looked too plain and needed some more texture and colour through them. Whilst asking my peers for advice I realised that they all really loved the pink and yellow piece which came as a suprise to me seen as though I wasn't too sure on it. This has really made me reconsider which pieces I want to put up in my expedition.

I I continued creating abstract small pieces today in my sketchbook. Most of these are created with acrylic paint however i did experiment with using marked pens and working back into the pieces with doodles and intricate lines.

Today I started on a new piece to present with my final piece. I really do love this piece and I got really positive feedback from my peers. However I was told the black was a bit too bold. I think that the black contrasts really well with the light pastel colours and I really think it works. However I am going to tone the black down somehow. I created this piece using acrylic paint,pen,ink and oil pastel on canvas. I came up with the idea of presenting my pieces stacked up on an easel like the picture somewhere below. My teacher didn't like this idea however I'm still going to experiment with it for future work. I think it looks very cool with my work but a lot of people didn't get it.

Today I focused on roatating my final piece to get different effects. I liked the idea of my final piece making sense all ways round so I decided to work all ways around. It helped me a lot with evening my main piece out and adding something to the plain parts. I also carried in working into my main piece with oil pastels paints and pens to get the cool fine detail I wanted. I wanted to add bright bold parts to my main piece that stood out compared to the rest which I found difficult because of how bright and bold the colours already where.
