Photography From Yesterday

Yesterday was a horrible rainy day, but I decided to go outside and take some photos. Even just around college there is so much that is visually interesting especially at this time of year, when all the leaves change colour, all the colours seemed so lovely and bright.Here are some of the photos I took.

If always loved the rainbow affect of oil/petrol spill.

I love all these yellow leaves. 

this is a really gross photo but I like the combination of disgusting dirt and rubbish with the bight colour.

I think this needs more shade. 

I cant seem to get darker shadow on this photo, which I think would look better

I wasn't sure if I should crop this photo or not, but I think it looks good as it is. 

I didn't realise you can see the spiders until I saw the photo on the computer, it looks really creepy.   

   

New Paintings

spray paint, acrylic paint and charcoal on wooden board.

This piece of work is inspired by an other piece I did for my specialist techniques last year. It was originally going to be a copy of the previous work using different media but as I created it, it changed or my idea changed. I painted the face first then I sprayed the spray paint around it, close to the canvas so it would run. I then then flicked acrylic paint on top. I began to add charcoal around the face but not all the paint was dry so some of the spray paint peeled of. I added more definition with charcoal when it was dry. I think the finished painting looks a bit street arty, and I really like the definition added by the charcoal.       

Self portrait.

I didn't really have any thing else thick enough to paint on so I took the cover off an old sketch book. I put quite a few layers of paint on before I painted then face, I was trying to billed up a good background but it ended up being all covered. I painted some of the face using a small sponge which worked quite well. I do feel that the face could be a lot better and I will need to work on it.
