Sketchbook - Photo play stencils


I've the idea of creating stencils of different types of insects and bugs and placing them on photo paper while exposing. These pages present my testers for this technique.

Sketchbook - Painting test page

These are a couple of test paintings in practice for a triptych a plan to make from my butterflies. The test is purely to see how well I could work with a new water colour palette.

Experimenting




 As part of my photography project, we have to make greetings cards using only natural materials. Our tutor told us we could make our own natural glitter using pure maple syrup and water. I gathered some leaves from college earlier, collecting the most vibrant yellow ones I could find, and after cleaning them up a little, I've sprayed them with the mixture. I'll be leaving them over night and see how they go work out tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
