Inspired by passionfruit using markers.
Technique of combining two different patterns together.

I went to my local junkyard where I took a photo of the mans tattoos who worked there and used different markers to draw from it.
inspired by houses and street lamp , using posca pens and markers.
Inspiration from a gallery visit to colour scape of the artist James Turell. here using mix media of post pen , blackmarker and crayons.
Done with markers on A5, inspired by the graves in Nunhead graveyard.
this was a fun experimental process where I trased with a pencil through wood to get texture on the white a4 paper , then I used three different colours to do different patterns . I very much like this one, had a lot of fun doing it.

Butterfly with different patterns that are stuck in my brain , I used a photo of mushrooms to make the tape of the butterfly , completely an accident. using a fine liner .

Reflection,

Starting from the beginning of the project, we were asked to go around London to seek inspiration for both of the tasks and to absorb all the colours around us so we could apply them to our work. My classmates and I were asked to go around Soho/Chinatown area to go and draw from things we saw and to take photos of different things; for example, we explored different shops and restaurants; I was looking at random things like teapots and plates because they had distinctive, beautiful art on them. I also took a bunch of inspiration from things around me, like my home, my furniture, everyday tasks and the people I was with.


In Task 1, I used a lot of mixed media such as acrylic paint, watercolour, markers, fine liner, collaging and pencil; by using all these different techniques, I could demonstrate my ideas differently. During that time, I went to different galleries and exhibitions, like the Colourscape and Saatchi gallery, which was perfect for my research.

Task 2, was the project about seeing a pattern and how we could look at something and make a pattern out of it, it could be very simple to spot a pattern if you really just took a moment to look. During this project, I was still exploring London and looking around to me what I found inspiring. These two tasks were the best way to start my three-year course in textile print, a lovely way to ease myself and get inspired.

Experimenting with ink.

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
