Abstract Plate

For this my idea came from a mounted square plate on my wall. I used the same technique from my Floral Abstraction piece, and I used the shadowing on the background instead of the plate.

Floral Abstraction

This is an A5 drawing from my Abstraction sketchbook. I focused on the middle of a Begonia and created a shaded effect using pointillism. The Begonia's I studied were red, so I used the colour palette in the background to give the drawing more volume.

2D Sculpture (2)

Another sculpture from the Barbara Hepworth Gallery, only this time I used the mosaic effect in Photoshop.

Rose Pattern

I drew around an image of a rose in Photoshop, just keeping to an outline. I then copied and repeated that rose to make this pattern.

Digitally Drawn Peach Rose

I coloured this in Photoshop with a basic paintbrush. I had drawn on a new layer over an image I uploaded, and after finishing I deleted the background, leaving only the painted image. 

2D Sculpture

A sculpture from the Barbara Hepworth Gallery in Yorkshire, outlined with basic paintbrush and background patterned with a simple photoshop background.

Abstracted Ballet Shoes

For this I was simply playing around with photoshop. It started as an image of ballet shoes, but I had removed the background and edited the hue. Using a smudge tool, I pulled at the edges. I was left with this abstracted image of ballet shoes.
