Resource #2 Drawing into Paint

Drawing into paint #1 - Exercise 4: Using a theme of your choice, 

create a painting with little or no use of a brush.

Inspired by this photo I took one foggy winters morning last month, 

I've used grey paint which was applied with a sponge

 and the black around the border, with the bristles of an old paint brush.

For the tree I used a piece of wood (off-cut), a twig and a little bit of lichen. 

I really enjoyed doing this....

Drawing into paint #1 - Exercise 7: Cut 10 pieces of paper into A5 size. 

Make monoprints of paint applied to a sheet of plastic 

and use different tools to make patterns.

 

Drawing into paint #1 - Exercise 8: Choose whatever exercise worked best for you and create a large-scale piece.

My next painting was inspired by the above photo I took

I'm so happy how this has turned out! 

I've used a piece of wood (for the power pole) 

a peg for the cross bars,

the end of a pencil for the 'knobs'

the side of an iceblock stick for the lamp arm,

and the side of a ruler for the 'wires'

The light has been sponged and the lettering, stamped.
