Ideas from Sketchbook Challenge By Sue Bleiweiss

Adding background colour

• After painting something, offload any extra paint onto blank sketchbook pages...
• ...embellish further with bubblewrap, cling film, tissue papers or indeed printing that paper onto another sheet.
• Look into spray inks and use them with stencils
• Paint papers using a brayer. Squeeze paint onto a surface in squiggles place paper on top and roll over with a brayer. Lift off and let it dry. Repeat with more paper.

Bubble wrap prints with thick paint...

 

Great texture! Need to take some rubbings of these!

Colour study 1

I have started a colour study in my sketchbook. Firstly using paint and collage, glued onto a large sketch of the platform.

I couldn't resist some photo manipulation as I found the coloured squares very interesting!

 

I love the boldness of this version... I always find black and white very appealing. However by applying some abstract filters I created this version...

 

A very different colour scheme from the original photo! Love the contrasting colours.

This is a very different effect. Perhaps a truer reflection if the original photo... A more muted colour scheme.

I think I would like to explore these colour studies more... Perhaps printing on fabric with stitching on top...
