Cubism

     Cubism Title in Oil Pastel


Cubism was a revolutionary new approach to representing reality invented in around 1907-08 by artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. They brought different views of subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same picture, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted

Paint Pouring

For this process first I filled a tray halfway with water  I then mixed up my paint colours using both poster paints and oil paints mixing each colour with either linseed oil or white spirit. For my first attempt I used a pink colour pallet making a range of pink shades of paint along side red white and a few purple shades.  I began by pouring my different colours in the water filled tray, then using the end if a paintbrush to mix the colours to create a nice pattern in the water. I then placed a piece of paper onto the patterns then lifting the paper off to reveal the pattern that has now been printed onto the paper. I repeated this process numerous times to create a range of different patterns and pieces. After all the paper was dry I picked the pieces that I thought worked best an put them in sets to be mounted to display in my exhibition.

Here are my results:
