Peacock
Using a vocabulary of mark making skills such as; painting
with my paint brush attached to a ruler, drawing and painting left handed and
using my hands and cutlery, I feel I have demonstrated a layered variety of
mark making. I created this secondary observation from a photograph I took of a
peacock using, Indian ink, oil pastels, pencils, poster paint and chalk. Using
a body of layers and techniques has helped me identify that expressive mark
making is not something you aim to look real, you distort the image for a fundamentally emotional response.
In the words of Wassily Kandinsky,
"The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul"
