Creating layers

Creating Layers 

From looking at CW Twombly’s work, i had decided to use his style of “freely scribbling” to create my own work. I started by running charcoal along my page in a looping way, i then added white emulsion paint on the top. I was hoping that it would lightly smudge the charcoal to create a layered affect, however by the time i had finished it could only be lightly seen. So i decided to do another layer of charcoal on top but this time spraying the charcoal with hairspray to stick it. I believe that this was effective because the paint lightly smudged the charcoal and left a dark under layer of loops and expressive lines. Whilst adding ink to my other painting i accidentally dropped some onto this, instead of trying to get it off, i smudged it and found that it created a really interesting affect. I then added more to it and i feel that it has made my drawing a lot more interesting and in the process it added another layer.

I  decided to use ink for this particular painting, i wanted to experiment with using different materials. I started off by just using ink and creating expressive lines all through to paper, however i felt it looked boring once i had finished. Therefore i decided to add red ink on top but this time creating bigger loops instead of small repetitive ones. I feel that this gave it a great colour when the black and red ink mixed together. Overall i feel that this piece went very well, i am happy with the the completed look of it. To improve it i could try adding another colour such a blue to added another overall tone to it.
