Assignment 1 PoP – Tea and Doodles

Assignment 1 and Reflection

This assignment was developed here and I’ve decided to work on a complementary ground colour of violet.

I will say at this stage that I have a love-hate relationship with paper stretching….

Blocking in the midtones and highlights. Not sure of my process at the moment, I don’t feel I have a ‘checklist’ and seem to be blocking in by feel rather than a theoretical process as such.

Ugh. So happy with this and then I see that appalling horizontal line at the last minute. Why?? Looking back, this was present early on. Something to watch.

Corrected, but worried I will overwork it so will leave it at this point.

I enjoy the tonal effect of different colour grounds and I wanted to work with this more rather than paint on white.

I wanted to try white, then the complementary colour to the main colour in the picture (a magenta to the main green). And thirdly, I would try the mix of the green and its opposite, a complementary grey/brown.
