I started off my artistic year by using my own images of black and white faces coming out of darkness to create realism paintings using acrylic. Once confident with painting, I added colour over the top of the standard black white and grey, to reflect the mood of the facial expression being portrayed.
I then started looking for a different way of working other than painting. I found artist Jackson Pollock and found his work and style highly interesting and decided to incorperate this into my own work, but in faces. I began by only using white gloss paint but as my confidence grew, i added grey into my second face.
Taking into account the repetitive nature and predictability of the human face, i decided to experiment my new found style of working into landscape.
I Then, experimenting with different colours and working on a larger scale produced my main piece.
