Picturehooks Winter Competition
The ‘Picturehooks’ competition in January was a useful focus after having to intermit again. The brief was to create a single image around the theme of ‘Winter Comforts -family’.
I decided to use competitions as a way to work quickly towards creating an image, and to try different materials along the way.
Colour version
I somewhat prefer the black and white version.
Picturehooks Summer Competition
In August I entered another Picturehooks competition. This time the title was ‘Summer Surprises’.
I used Procreate for the first time as well as paper to do colour sketches and trial compositions.
Trying 3 colour separations, firstly layering watercolours and secondly digital screenprinting.
After trying 3 coloured pencils, I chose 3 colours of gouache for the final artwork.
