Watercolour Pencils

Despite taking Art at GCSE and A-level I have yet to use or experiment with Watercolour pencils so as a part of my EPQ I intend to learn how to successfully use them.

The watercolour pencils I will be using are from WHSmith:

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.

For my piece I decided to take photos and manipulate my image using a printed out copy on cartridge paper. i mixed up colours in similar tones to my my portrait photos, I then also mixed my paint into textured paste a this is a cheaper way to create an effect of thick paint smudges and dries a lot quicker too. Here are my results:
