Reflection:

For the 'Talking Colours' task I took inspiration from my surroundings in London and my hometown Bedford. Being new to the city I enjoyed exploring the area and visited new places such as Brick Lane and Camden Passage. However, due to the amount of people and bustle in London I found it hard to complete a couple of my drawings at the place where I chose my subject so ended up taking a photo and finishing the piece at home. This process was limiting as I was less spontaneous with my marks and more focused on making the drawing look perfect (for example the yarn and the cafe observations.) Other times, I stayed at the scene and completed quick studies of the subject in front of me, (for example the house plants) these where a lot quicker and I found myself being more productive. By using a diverse range of mediums and even experimenting with digital for the first time, it broadened the results of my work. Watercolour was the most useful medium as it acted as a perfect base for any other mediums on top and I was able to be less precious about my marks. For future projects, I am hoping to push the diversity of my work styles to ensure that I am creating alternative interpretations instead of getting caught up in the details. I feel that I tried to do this in my ‘Ways of Seeing, Talking Patterns’ task as I looked at objects in more abstract ways using different mediums.
