Nomad - Week Three

  Our drawing task this week was using my personal favourite: Watercolours.

I started by doing a watercolour background with a wash brush and then working into it while it was still wet. The colours ended up bleeding together and created a weird mish mash of colours which was interesting but not exactly what I wanted. I waited until the painting was dry and worked back into it using a smaller brush to put in the finer details

I then started working with a more delicate way of using the watercolours with small detailed strokes with a more concentrated colour which I got some great effects which I feel I can take forward better than my first watercolour. From this I started looking at a colour pallette.

Originally the idea was two colours that I could work from but it ended up being about four.

Next week is just Do as You Will. So I think I may go back to using the ink or the promarkers as I really felt that I got some really good marks from these mediums which are ideal for print. I also think I should do some work at home in order to expand my range of drawings which I can use in the printing process.
