...next a a version in dry media. I think this one does capture the lantern like quality I was drawn to in the original image...
..this one is my favourite. It began as a disastrous attempt to use wet media (in this case acrylic paint) but I love it now that I've scratched into the layers of colour. I think the lines ,colours and shapes come together well here...
..finally a collage attempt. I layered painted paper, and tissue with lots of glue to try and capture the glossy textures. I wanted to move the shapes even more and layered them in all directions which I think is a little busy.
I am enjoying working in this way. I find the first steps into drawing very painful! Extracting
shapes and colours for design is a joy though.
I think the dry media image really captures the lantern - like quality of the bulbs that first drea me to the image.
