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...

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.

Diary With the college going into lockdown from Thursday, I decided that it might be rather nice to keep a blog on updates and occurrences that come my way during the overall lockdown of the UK. The Garden of Death - Hugo Simberg Thursday 19th - day 1 Initially, I was expecting that college would end on Friday. So had Matthew come round in the morning to pick me up, after waiting for an amazon delivery of watercolour paper. We received an email around 11 stating that the college was to shut at 1:30, so frantically rushed to the car with bags and our college passes to be able to get the work we needed from the studio. We picked up the large majority of our work and had a meeting at 11:30 discussing what was to happen next. It was nice to see people whilst I still could, and to have a bit of support regarding what the next steps were for Foundation Art. It seems that the most sensible option is to keep creating work and documenting the process at home. I took home my la...
