Mixing with glue (Part 5)

 This was the final part of my experiment. I really wasn't happy with the results of this. I felt that after the red paint, I didn't need to try out anymore colours, I'd found my faultless colour to go effortlessly with glue. So I decided to use a different type of material, this time I decided to use charcoal. I painted the page with glue, and dried it, it was hard not to burn the paper, the paint seemed to protect the paper, create a barrier like form over the paper. However without paint it burnt a lot easier, this created horrible yellow burnt marks over the page. So using the charcoal I started to highlight the different marks created by the glue. Using charcoal on dry glue created a really nice surface to draw on. However I do not like how this piece turned out at all, I feel that the charcoal isn't dark enough, even if I tried to put pressure on the charcoal, it didn't make the page any darker, it just broke the charcoal. In addition to the pointless grey created on the page, the overall all piece just looked extremely contrived. It looks like I've controlled every bit of this piece, there is no freedom within and thats the main reason why I don't like it.
