Paint Pouring Video- first try

Mixture of acrylic paint, PVA glue and water. Accidentally added too much water making the mixture too runny and colour dried faded. Also the paint colours mixed easily, losing the original colours. Here is a photo of blue and red mixture together, i really like the blued edges as you can see it slowly change into purple. I found that when i moved the page the blue mixture was hidden underneath the purple and became dominant. However, eventually the red mixed in and took over. To improve this i woul.d like to try different combinations of colours and see how they mixed together. Additionally, add less water so the mixture is not too runny on the page.

The remainder of the mixture ran off onto the page below, I moved the page around to watch the colours interact and mix as it moved so freely. Similar to how the dancers should move towards the end of the song visuals as they are calm and in control. Furthermore, i was intrigued by the light reflected in the wet paint that moved with my slight movements as if the light was dancing. I would like to experiment with light and how it can add meaning to a piece as well as move in water/paint and glass.

Artist: Zarah Abraham

I came across this artist when looking into movement. She films herself drawing with charcoal and creates the marks by moving her body- dancing on the canvas. The marks captures the movements that she creates when listening to music. I would love to try this to draw the movements of the dancers that i vision. I believe it would be difficult to capture as i am not a dancer but i will definitely try beginning with charcoal and possibly moving onto paint as i would love to see how the colours mix when using my body. I didnt really explore Abrahams style and incorporate it into my work as much as i wanted to as it was difficult to find a way to combine this style at a large scale with other materials. If i had more time i would of used this as a starting point to explore paint, printing and other materials layered up using my body. I feel this would have been a completely different investigation if i had done this.

Crete: Drawings

I took a sketchbook with me to Crete, on the plane i doodled this out of boredom. Using coloured pens i created random patterns and lines to draw out the front of a girl. Then using black Biro i added outlines and scribbled her hair and over onto the back of the page. To me this shows a process of turning boredom and negative emotions into creativity and art. The scribbles become less and eventually turn into the colourful patterns before fading completely. I really like the idea conveyed in this drawing, however i dont like the basic cartoon style as i think it shows my lack of drawing skills. The whole piece looks like a doodle and a bit messy. Especially with how the scribbles come out of the hair. I think recreating this with paint would create a better outcome. Instead of patterns it would be a strong mix of bright colours that is faded together like a light cloud. Compared to a mix of black and grey at the back with drips and harsh lines. I could also add some delica...

Development:

I decided to develop the drawings i did when experimenting with the use of the projector. I felt that these drawings were quite bad as they were quick sketches and details were out of place. For instance the scribbles on the dancers faces look odd and ruin the drawing. As i was looking into rough painting i decided to try experiment with the style. I think between the two my favourite outcome of the paint is of the face, The random pop of colour in the hair and mix of bright colours. I quite like the outcome when using a pallet knife and scraping it down the page with all the colours. The way the colours mix and still stand out from one another. Furthermore, adding paint to the drawing helped illuminate the green pen drawing. On the other hand some features are out of place, for instance the eyes are slightly ff and the lips. For the dancers, i found acrylic paint to be too runny to mix with colours. I think oil paint might work better. I got the paint...
