Abstract painting with aqua palette:
This was our first practical lesson of the unit we were shown various abstracts portraits to help inspire our own designs we were going to illustrate on the face. The initial outcome was to experiment with colour and see how it can portray the face in different ways. Each person had there own interpretation so it was quite interesting seeing the end results as no design really conformed. Personally I don't think my translation was really correct. It became more of a outrageous animal themed club night inspired look. I got a little carried away with the mascara wand but I just thought the pattern created was so effective! The painting we were aiming to mimic included much more colour that was places randomly around the face. However the Aqua colours we were using were harder to blend then expected, especially the gold. The key when creating this look is to definitely to be confident with brush strokes when applying the colours because I don't think it can be done accurately or wrong really but the overall look just looks much more natural when less thought has been put into it.
