Art

I visited a fish mongers to collect additional photography research and I took different shots of the many range of fish from different angles. I selected one of photographs to create the painting and applied the same palette knife technique that I have used throughout my work. I find this painting technique effective as it is not too precise compared to a paint brush and it creates the impression of texture and suits the photograph used.

Artist Research

Besides looking at paintings of fish by artists, i also wanted to look into pattern. I decided to research M.C Escher and here i found fish patterns. From the researched photos of his work i copied his tecnique of the abstract patterns of fish. This technique could be developed and could be used in my final piece.

Art - Artist Research

For my artist research, i was unfortunately not able to find many artists who's focus was on fish. The artist i used was Internet searched, who was J.Vincent. Vincent work i found inspiring, with the colours and tecnhniques used in his collection.This is my version of one of his beautiful paintings.

Art - Experiments

From the photographs i collected of Carp fish i created a series of experimental paintings of the different photographs with using the same technique and palette knife tool to create the sence of movement in the painting.

Here is an A1 painting of the smaller version in my art portfolio. I used a palette knife to create a technique of movement in the painting from the Carp.

For my Art project i have chosen to do fish. As apart of research for the project i went to Stapley Water Gardens and took arrange of photographs of Carp. I chose a section of one of the photos to create an experimental painting by using a palette knife for a painting style.

Shape and Proportion development

Here is a sample of my Shape and Proportion development section which is about adapting the design proposal, such as using fashion tape for adapting shape on mannequin, construction and decoration adapting. Here i used inspiration from my designer by using curtain tape as a gathering technique just on the back of the garment.
