This is a Life drawing piece using Charcoal and white Chalk Pastel, I've attempted to use the chalk pastel to outline the lit parts of the models body, using an opposite method as to what would usually be done.

30 second Life Drawings using pen and ink, and focusing on the shape and form fof each different position.

 More Life Drawing focusing on shape, although this time using charcoal.

 A series of quick sketches, attempting to achieve correct proportion with each one.

Observation sketches of my own hand, on A3 paper, using graphite pencil, capturing each fragment of movement. The marks I've used are quite abrasive and hard, due to the fact that I wanted to refrain from using an eraser to create this.

A very quick observation sketch of my own foot, in my sketchbook, using a graphite pencil. I wanted to keep it quite loose, and see how much detail and realism I could get from quite a gestural style.

This is sketchbook work from a Unit based around an object, myself choosing a Key, here I'm exploring texture and layering, as well as a key motif, to give inspiration as to where the outcome could lead.

These are further experiments from mu key Unit, I really enjoy the screen printing process and finish, and so used this technique to experiment further with texture, layering and colour, using a theme of 'The Past'. 

These two screen Prints more developmental final outcomes, using bronze and beige tones to get a dated quality as well as black and white-reminiscent of old photographs. I also included past diary entries, to the screen prints, hoping to add a sense of the personal to my 'Past' theme, along with finger prints. 

 Here are more observation sketches, this time in Pen and Ink and for a Surface Pattern Unit. I decided to focus on cats, having taken influence from surface pattern artists who use animals in their work, such as Lucy Ricketts.
 I developed the pen and ink drawings into Lino prints, which I then printed over various textures and backgrounds. The two here being accomplished using batik to create window like motifs over a background of rollered green watercolour, which i then printed onto. The batik on the collaged print, works to produce actual window like qualities, allowing sunlight to easily pass through when the page is lifted. I also chose the green colours, as I wanted to experiment with cooler shades keeping in reference to some water photos I took previous.

Further in my project, I looked at screen printing and layering, these sketchbook pages showing my experiments on colour and composition. 

Again, colour and compositional experiments, this time focusing on Lino and Woodblock prints of windows and cats, over rollered blue ink onto newsprint paper.

This is a final colour experiment towards my final outcome for this project, using multiple printing inks on one screen, to produce quite gestural, harmonious shades. Printing onto coloured paper, to explore the way layered colour changes with each pairing.

These final screen prints are more abstract in nature, the use of colour a lot bolder then my previous sketchbook work, but again exploring the cat print motif.

 Here I am documenting and exploring Watercolour as a specialist technique, using colour glazing to explore different colour outcomes.

I have then used the colour glazing experiments here, to print over using Lino. Something I have wanted to experiment with since discovering printing in Art. The scene I have printed is a beach landscape developed from a photograph, using different tonal relations to the one in the photo to produce a gestural watercolour background for it.

These colour experiments, are from miniature Lino prints I produced outside of College, but have then decided to incorporate into one of my projects. 

Here is a final outcome for my Specialist techniques Unit, again I chose to use Screen Printing as my medium; this piece being a dual colour print, using two separate screens. Its a beach landscape again, and so I chose soft, muted blues, experimenting with how close I could get the colours whilst still maintaining the distinction between the images.
