Oil Pastel

Oil Pastel Experiment - Tyler Joseph After deciding that I was quite enjoying using oil paints, I decided to have a go with Oil Pastels.  Previously, I grew impatient with the medium so sought to avoid it at all costs. But decided that it would benefit this experiment with tone and detail better than using charcoal or pencil. The pastels are also good for making an 'airbrushes' appearance from blending them, so this settled my medium choice for the portrait. I already knew that I was going to create a portrait as I had the line-work for it already. So far I have found the medium quite refreshing, as I have not used it in so long. Unfortunately I do have problems blending out the medium as my hands are always cold, so I cannot melt the medium in my fingers. To overcome this, I have been periodically heating my hands when I need to blend out colours.  Materials used : - white oil pastel - black oil pastel - paper blending stump (large) - c...

Literary Influences

King Lear Themes in King Lear There were various themes and motifs in King Lear which can be explored in essays. I have put some small examples by each of the smaller titles.

Texture Book 1

Whilst my processes are fairly easy to understand, the use of quotations have been pulled and torn from various pages of William Shakespeares 'The Tempest'. His final play and final known piece of work seems relevant to link to my own final major, alongside with my personal adoration for the piece. A variety of mediums have been used, which include :  - Hot glue - Tissue paper - Gutterman thread (of various widths) - White biro - Faber Castell Polychromos - Daler Rowney Watercolour - Tape - Star stickers (yes I'm like a 5 year old) - Canvas - Origami paper - Charcoal - Black Sharpie - Black biro - Text (The Tempest) - White paint marker Beats, as of flesh and blood; I fear a madness held me. This must crave - whose throats had hanging In this last tempest, I drink the air before me. I perceive these lords, As when they are fresh. The devil speaks in him. Do not, for one repulse, forgo the purpose. Or ere your pu...
