Paint Videos

   Whilst doing some string pulling experiments with watered down acrylic, i filmed how the water acted and the paint mixed as i thought the movements were intriguing and the process of colour change.
   In the first video the colour purple infiltrated the blue water i added to the page and as i lifted the page the way it moved, even danced in the water, was really fascinating and unpredictable.
   I was using this paint to cover a face drawing i had drew previously using biro. I decided i didnt like it and would paint thinly over to show how the dreamer feels like she is drowning in her own mind. I feel like how the paint acted, before painting over the face,with the two colours was interesting as if they were performing to attract the dreamer before taking over her whole mind. I would like to film more of colours mixing and moving in water.


Even though the paint didnt instantly react to the water being added i really like how the two colours of blue and black are present in the paint markings. I think these colours are really beautiful together like a light summer night.

    This third video is to show the string being pulled out and how the paint moves on one of my experiments. However, i think this is one of my worst outcomes as the blue paint was too watery, not allowing the gold to really show up.
 This photo is of one of my better outcomes and my overall favourite as i used three contrasting colours of different shades, creating interesting thin lines. You can also see the movement of the paint through the lines as if its a wave. I will definitely be developing this technique, using more colours and string going in different directions.


    The last video was to show the paint mixing with watered down blue. I really like how the white paint squeezed out of the bottle, creating layers of wriggly lines. When i added the water, it sat in gaps of the paint making the lines stand out as if it was a snake. I dont believe this particular paint mixing was that interesting but will do this again to focus on different colours and using a pallet knife to spread out lines of the colours.

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...

DDTK Canvas Painting + Light

         I looked into how light changed the painting on the canvas. I discovered how the light shone through the back, losing the colour in the paint and showing rough brush strokes. The sections of the face that look incredibly light added a sense of loss of form as if the dreamer wasn't really in solid form and disconnected completely. I found that by moving the canvas away from the light, the painting faded similarly showing how the dreamer loses their identity and becoming a ghost.     I also took a video of the light moving in the reflection of the glass, similar to how the light reflected in the plastic frame of the film. I really like how it moves across in a line as if it is wiping the dreamers mind clean. I also like how the gaps between the glass breaks up the line sectioning it yet when looking at the video overall the eyes blur that line into one showing how many things influence dreams, building it up until it overtakes the drea...

Artist- Micayla Gatto

    I dont particularly like Micayla Gatto's art as it doesnt create a huge interest in me as i dont connect to it emotionally. However i do like her use of vibrant colours, especially the electric blue in the first photo, strong lines and shapes used throughout her different works of mountains and scenery.     Each section of her work is different in details and colours, which is what drew me to her work originally.  Furthermore, her work contains layers in them which is something i would really like to focus on when creating my own work. Creating layers through use of building up on different materials as well as drawing and painting together as i am always too impatient and rush the process of building up the details.
