Collage and Painting



As mentioned earlier, I experimented with drawing directly onto photographs. I created some backgrounds by layering up ink, added collage on top, and then added any paint I felt necessary.

I was really pleased with the outcome of these, they have a very specific mood to them, and an almost industrial, grimy atmosphere.

As they are only sketches, it is possible that they could do with some refining, though I have to admit, I really like the areas where the ink has accidentally bled.

I like these images as pieces on their own, I think that they are very strange, but interesting! I will continue with the idea of Photo collage and paint and see where further experiments lead me.

As I had said before, I had taken photographs with the idea of collaging them into buildings. This is something I have only just started exploring, however I feel the outcome could be very successful.
