Extra paintings/final exhibition :

in this work I minimised the background of the original image, making marks of just the graffiti with watercolour. i then did the foreground of the shoes with watercolour and guache, a slightly thicker consistency.
using a background I made during the original mark-making phase of the brief, I did a more abstract interpretation of the image, I purposely left the second shoe with less detail and ‘unfinished’ I liked the contest between the two and how it added something more interesting than just painting both the same.

Reflection:

I think this brief was a little out of my comfort zone in terms of my specialties in art. I prefer taking photos and painting is something that usually frustrates me. Although it was challenging I enjoyed choosing some photos I had taken and interpreting them into a different style and area of the arts. I liked using different consistencies of paint and experimenting with different materials and mixed media. Despite this, I’m still excited for next year when I can put down a paintbrush and pick up a camera again.
