Colour and Nature: The Beginning

For the colour and nature brief, I have decided to focus on the colour and textures found within the Northern Irish coast. I want to respond to this brief, by creating a body of work inspired by a series of images that I will collect, which reflect the beauty of the coast line.

Through mixed media, and mark-making techniques, I hope to create a series of drawings, paintings and samples inspired by the textures found upon the rocks and grooves reflected within my images.

I find that I am often intrigued by material sampling and fabric manipulation; I adore experimenting with multiple forms of media in order to produce my work. I also enjoy working within a refined colour palette, and this is something I hope will visually flow throughout my work within this brief.

Drawing this inspiration from the coastline, I want to focus upon techniques that will allow me to recreate these textures upon fabric. I hope that these next three weeks will be extremely experimental and push me to explore techniques and materials that I usually wouldn't be attracted to.
