5. Forces
Since both my chosen artists were into buildings, I also decided to create pieces of infrastructure. I explored buildings around the world: Japan, India, France.
The final piece was done in watercolour on 100 gsm paper. I had 5 hours to complete the final piece, which was definitely a time crunch as the painting I decided to do was very detailed. Nonetheless, I was happy with the final piece.
Most of my paintings and final pieces are done in acrylic, as it is my strongest media. However, through the artist research on Ian Murphy, I explored my hand in watercolours, and was pleasantly surprised.
