Above is a collage I created using pieces of newspaper which were layered with glue then partially ripped to expose the paper beneath, atop this I drew in charcoal, the image of an opened book, which I believed looked rather effective and striking although the subject did not relate to the theme I was following. To amend this I painted over the drawing using emulsion paint to obscure the lines but not completely mask them, this created an impressive texture, reminiscent of that of an old billboard.
This collage is again created using a method of sticking pieces of newspaper down and then drawing on top, in this the pieces were larger and crumpled to created a more three dimensional texture, this proved difficult to draw over and the lack of variation caused by the large surfaces of one tone give a monotonous background.
The two photographs above display two collages I created, both using tissue paper which was over-layed and glued, over this I painted the collage completely with white emulsion then ripped parts away to reveal the original colour. I believe the lower one to be more effective due to the use of a lighter colour allowing the drawing to be seen more clearly and creating a more high contrast, striking image.
Above is displayed the progress of the observational studies I have completed of the object I have chosen, which have gone from simple outlines of the objects to a shaded study of the object to show the reflections and tone of the object.
