Washing Out The Words 10th December


Once again I had to spend the morning at the doctor's, but like yesterday I wanted to go into college to finish my work. I have loved Fine Art. It has given me so many options and ways to present my ideas. I know now that going down the 3D route is the right choice for me. I enjoy working with my hands and creating something that is three dimensional. I like watching my thoughts develop and grow from an initial idea to a finished piece.


Having only an hour or two, I got myself down to 3D so I could finish my painting, leaving tomorrow to work on my projection. The main thing I had to do was to get some yellow ink and wash over the top right hand page of the book then slowly fading it out to white at the bottom. This took longer than I thought it would, as I had to build some layers of ink up to create a gradual fade to white.

I applied the lighter ink layers with a sponge. When it came to adding the darker ink, I took a spray bottle and filled it with a darker mix of ink and water. I carefully sprayed over the top of the page making sure not to soak too much of the book so it didn't run down over the edges.

Once again it was time to finish up for the day. I had to sort out what I'd be doing tomorrow at home. Most of the things I needed to finish were final bits, but the part that might take a longer time was the projection. However, with the couple of paragraphs sorted, all I had to do was make them move and blur.
