I've decided to work on a small series of birds using my own printed collage papers and using subdued colours in grey-blue, muted pinks and ochre with contrasting darks and whites.,
These works are on high 310 gsm grade paper using acrylic paint and gel pens.
Large soft sculpture art
Written by Grace GartonI always wanted to try this! I've always wanted to make large mounted dolls as artworks for the wall.
I wasn't sure what exactly, a few things roaming around n my head...but for a first go I was inspired by Modigliani's portraits, particularly what interested me was the shape of the body and how I can turn it into a soft sculpture.
My first attempt is, Woman Wearing A Yellow Jumper, based on Modigliani's portrait of Jeanne Hebuterne. Apart from the lovely colours he used in this painting I wanted to capture the curviness of the female form.
