Patchwork workshop


I have really benefited from the workshop, as we were exploring the tonal qualities of objects, and how we use colour to capture these. We looked at flowers sticking to a rigid 4 tone colour, me and Edwina chose pinks. Our brief was to draw a ditsy, stripe and a realistic drawing so we could patchwork these together. 


I really benefited from this workshop, as my practice hasn't got off to a flying start due to the fact that I have to many ideas going on, so I have applied this to my own work to get combinations of drawings that compliment each other but yet contrast in drawing styles.



I have got a great app that takes out colour from the lense of the colour and cress colour stories (see above) which I used to create my tonal qualities applying the same rules as I did in the workshop, using white was not included in the tonal count.
I chose to do some squares that were focused on mark making rather than stripes as this depicts details of the flowers and brings the features alive.
