quick abstract portrait of a friend of mine , using different colour pens.

This is my fun painting experiment I tried out with acrylic paint, it can be seen different textures and patterns. on A4

This Is a observational drawing of a vase i bought from the Peckham carboot sale , it was the first piece I bought for my new house. I used pencil first to draw it and then I used watercolours to add color , also when I was taking the photo I liked the way the shadow of the cups reflected onto my drawing . This is on a A3

I made two abstract collages using photos which I printed where I had gone to a exhibition of James Turell called color escape , I also added some mix of media onto my collages with paint and a black pen. on A3

This is my doodle on a A6 inspired by different colours , colors always bring me inspiration but they need to be the right ones swell and they need to work together for it to make sense to me.

here i took inspiration of a church i saw with inspiration of a painting i saw in MOMA also a few months back and i used watercolour to splash some colour onto it .

Here i took a photo of a mug and editef it with a lot of saturation .

Here i took inspiration of picassos painting which i captured a few months ago when i was in NYC moma called ”les mesmoilles d’avignon” i loved the colours in this painting so i decided to my version of it . with pencils and a black marker. a4

Inspired by taking a trip to nunhead cemetry. markers and pencils. a5

Looking at your work, I can already see a strong abstract perspective in the way you see colours. However, even though you have only uploaded a few designs for “Talking Colour” and not yet Way of seeing/”Talking Pattern”, I can still see the exploration of colour and techniques. I like how you haven’t limited yourself to a certain colour palette showing that you’re experimenting and being free with the task. I find how you think about shadows in your second image fascinating because you’re taking that next step about how light and shadows can give a different feel/look to your design. Which I think is quite successful. I found the first image to also be highly successful because of the technique used to get a mirrored image as well as texture. Simplistic but highly effective. In addition, the fourth image I believe gives an impressionistic style of art as well as a graphic style with its use of chunky, flat, solid, parts of colour. Additionally, to move forward you could start using different dry materials such as graphite pencils, fine liner(thin and thick)wax crayons and colour pencils. These materials give different textures and styles, giving you variety. Which could help you explore more. You could also start thinking about using more contrasting colours because this could give you a more impactful drawing, motif or pattern. Furthermore, to help you move forward you could visit spots like Camden market, Borough Market, South London etc. Places that are rich with colour, shapes, culture that could inspire you and help you generate more designs.
