To continue our second case study, we have looked at the different skills we need in order to complete a portrait image of an influential person. We began by recapping on the different sketching skills we need and then using these to illustrate shadow as this is something we will need to recreate in our final piece. We used torches and different shapes to experiment with shadow and used our sketching skills to demonstrate the shadows. Following this, we began looking at two different types of paints – water colour and acrylic. We recapped our knowledge of the colour wheel and have then used this knowledge to mix colours that represent different emotions. We completed our water colours and will now move on to do the same with acrylic so that we can explore the different medium a little bit more.
