Tuesday May 6th 2014


Yesterday I started to paint the A1 portrait of my dad that I started on Saturday, and today I continued working on it. So far I think it is going really well and I think I have mastered the watercolour and ink technique and I think that this is one of my most effective pieces to date.
This afternoon I have started to add the fine liner pen over the top of this portrait, however I think that this will take a while as it is A1 and there are quite a lot of different colours that I will have to draw around.
So I asked some of the other people in my class what they thought of the painting, as part of a quick peer review, I explained what my ideas and intentions were and they said that they liked the painting and the techniques I was using, and thought that it was a bit different and unusual compared with my other work and other peoples work in the class. However they did suggest that I shouldn't add pen all over as it may look over worked and that they liked the way that some of it was just paint and some of it had pen added. I agreed with what they had to say and did what they suggested and didn't add pen all over, and now I am very happy with how it has turned out and agree that it would have looked too over worked.

Watercolour, ink and tea on paper.
