Skittles

Enlarged Skittles font using a thin tip black fine liner pen. All of this was done using free hand, no tracing. 

Acrylic Flower Painting

When I first decorated my room I felt a bit creative. I painted this flower onto my bedroom wall as it matched my duvets and curtains at the time which my mum had made for my room. I've even kept it up until now and added another one beside it. Acrylic paint was used in order to produce this painting as well as a metallic gold.

Watercolour Lily

A simple watercolour painting of a lily using watercolour pencils, and a wet paintbrush. 

Butterfly Cushion Cover

This is a butterfly cushion I made in school when I was 13. Oil pastels were used to colour in the butterflies and then pressed with steam in order for it not to smudge. Embroidery thread was used to sew on the butterflies to the denim fabric. Once all the sides were sewn I added a zip on one side and left the corners free for the wool tassels to go through. I then stitched together some material and stuffed it with wadding. The cushion went inside of the cushion cover to produce this. i hand stitched some sequins onto the butterfly for extra decoration.

Bag - Collage


This is my fourth and final version of my bag. This was made by me cutting out little pieces of paper from books and magazine to create this picture. This took quite a while to put together as there were so many small pieces. I then used white paint, and a small paintbrush to outline the detail. 

Bag - Biro Pen


This bag was drawn using a black biro pen using the cross-hatching method.

Bag - Colour Pencil


This is the same bag drawing, but instead colour pencils have been used. Once again this is every simple and basic.

Bag - Pencil


This is my primary source drawing of my bag with a few belonging inside. This is a very simple and basic sketch using a HB pencil.

Trey Songz Drawing - Watercolour


This is a watercolour colour drawing of the singer Trey Songz. I used water colour pencils in order to do this, then a wet paintbrush in order to blend.

Henry Moore's 'Three Points'


This is a secondary drawing of one of Henry Moore's sculptures. This sculpture is called 'Three Points' and it is made from bronze. I used a HB pencil to drawing this and the methods used were tone and shading.

Drawings Of Models

Here are three different drawing of models that I did within my visual arts lesson. Three different types of drawing equipment are used, from chalk and and charcoal to a graphite pencil.

Drawing Of A Model

This is another drawing of a model that I produced in one of my visual art lessons. The model sat on a high stool and posed for about 30-40 minutes. Within this time I was able to do this. I used just charcoal in this drawing and shaded in the darker areas using this.

Drawing Of A Model

I drew this model in one of my Visual arts lesson. Using chalk and charcoal i was able to produce this piece of artwork. The white chalk was use in order to show the lighting on the skin, the charcoal was used to show shadow and her swimsuit, and the orange chalk was used to show the skin colour of the model. Using this made it appear to be more realistic.

Work, Rest and Play Mannequin - Back

This is the back of the mannequin that I produced as part of my project. Once I had finished using the paper mache technique around the body, I then painted it all black before adding any other colour. Work, Rest and Play is painted on the back of the mannequin using acrylic paint as well as colourful flowers on a spiralled stems. Images that are related to Work, Rest and Play are also painted onto the back. Some include, a tie for work, Zzz.. for rest, and a pack of cards for play.

Work, Rest and Play Mannequin - Front

I produced this life size mannequin from scratch using myself as a template. Using basic equipment such as brown tape, old clothes, and newspaper, glue and kitchen roll for paper mache, I was able to produce this. It took quite a while to fully assemble, as I had to make each body part separately, but it was worth it. I achieved a good grade in the end, and now have my own mannequin.

I, Me, and Mine Final Project

This is my I, Me and Mine final completed project. I added a few more images from the previous I, Me and Mine project, which made it more colourful.

I, Me, and Mine Project

This painting was produced onto a canvas board. The project was titled 'I, Me, and Mine', so everything displayed on here means something to me. Acrylic paint was used to create this, as well as fine liner pens.

Paul Cezanne Painting

This is a Paul Cezanne painting that I produced using oil paints. This was my first time using oil paints.

Patrick Caulfield Painting


Patrick Caulfield's artwork that I produced using acrylic paint.

Wrappers collage

Wrappers collage that I produced from selecting my favourites sweets and chocolate and creating a watercolour drawing.

Japanese inspired outfit


During my first year in college, I produced this Japanese inspired outfit by using plain white shirts for my end of year fashion show. Boning was used in order to create black and white circles used in the middle of the top, and at both sides of the skirt.
