Final exam piece


This is the outcome of all my prep work. I think the 3 pictures worked well together, and am pleased with the final result because of the colours. I don't feel as though they are as detailed as my prep work which I was diappointed with, but given the time limit I am happy with the result.

Michael Roberts copies



I was captivated by the work of Michael Roberts because of the way the close up face makes the viewer feel uncomfortable. The square canvas makes the face looked confined because it contrasts the usual roundness of a face. My copy (left) is done in oil pastel, and was just a quick study to try and convey as similar feeling of unease.

Father and son


My etchings depicting a father and son relationship are shown above, and I have experimented with adding brusho, pencil and light and dark shading to create different atmoshpheres.
Below is a biro drawing I did of the same picture, as I felt the medium worked well withy some pictures form my coursework.

Face painting

Just a couple of prep paintings I did in oil paint to try using different colours. In the face above on the left I have used greens, blue and yellow to make up the different sections of the face, to imitate the work of Lucian Freud. I have also done a copy of a Freud picture below.
