Plans for final piece

I bought a 41 by 63 inch roller blind, it a cotton like polyester material which is perfect for drawing and adding colour, so far I have drawn large circles to fit me or my drawings in.
I started off obsessing about using fabric dye as it is easier to bleach and make some strange effects with, but I started using a turps and water mixture which has been working very well even with gouache and acrylic paints.

I am very excited to see what the outcome is going to be  i hope to fill all the circles with drawings and add other colours. I am also featuring some drawings from my sketchbook.

Painting with bleach

I developed this idea after staring at an old sketchbook cover, it was very bright and the colour annoyed me so  much I had to rip it apart (not the sketchbook) but the  cover.

I am very proud of this although the drawing itself is not particularly amazing, the fabric cover was easy to bleach and colour again that is why this works very well. 

One drawing 3 ways

This is the original drawing, I am going to use this in my final piece it is drawn on this white card.
For my final piece I am adding different elements of myself and my drawings to make almost a big puzzle of drawings featuring me.So I have been summing up ways in which I can use one drawing to make several other drawings, my Photoshop skills are not the best but I am pleased with how this turned out

Today

I feel like I am finally making a breakthrough with my drawings, I am considering putting these on show at my exhibition.

I do casually do some 30 by 30 cm drawings, I enjoy them I never know what the outcome is going to be. For these drawings I used oil paint one of my favourite mediums, this project so far has been this most liberating of all the project I have done since starting university.

I feel like myself again or a bit of my self coming back again. I am referring to the more experimenting multi tasking old me.

I used oil paint for these, I finally bought turps so it is morepliable now and a tad easier to spread the paint.

 

For my final piece I intend to to make college of my drawings from my sketchbook, and introduce some new ones. I am going to make this collage on a roller blind.

This is the first original cleaned slightly on Photoshop. The one below is a photoshop negative.

The one above I though I ‘d colour it in using Photoshop paint brushes, I thought it was relevant to mix up my illustrations instead of keeping the same old repetitive (well i feel like I am being repetitive)
