CREATING TEXTURE BY PVA LINKING TO MY VISUAL INSPO
From the discovery of taking photographs of fireworks and how the colours trust into the sky i wanted to experiment with different ways of showing what i seen first hand because the colours were truly mesmerising, for this experiment i have used white cartridge paper and
then quickly made marks using charcoal to relate to the black sky that is in the image that i have taken, I did not completely cover the paper as i wanted to show a breakage between one tonal colour. I then mixed PVA with blue ink and red ink to create small sparks flashing into the sky as if the fireworks were exploding into the air, Overall i like this image because the only small parts of texture come from the PVA and it makes the viewer focus on it more solely. To improve this composition i would add another layer of the colour with PVA.I have used PVA and watercolour to quickly mark the process of a closeup firework before it sparks into the sky and by doing this, i was in hope of building the texture but i liked how it was when doing the first layer. To improve i would use a darker colour from the watercolour palette to entice the tones of how thick the PVA really is.
I have used PVA mixed with yellow watercolour as i wanted to see how the yellow colour would react with mixed with such a thick paste, I thought that when adding this colour the yellow would fade from its pigmentation but it actually turned out better than expected. I used my brush to flick the glue onto the page as a response to the after explosion of the fireworks exploding into the sky, almost when then fireworks are evaporating into the air.
I have done the same technique as above but have decided to use a red watercolour as I wanted to see the difference of using a different colour on the warmth colour scale, Overall I like how I have really gone into detail with the colour on even the smallest of splatters on the page. To improve, i recon that should do this technwiue on acetate to see if it changes the effect when not being on black cartridge paper.
I have explored with PVA and how to apply it differently instead of just using a paintbrush and so i have used PVA with a lightly coloured pink watercolour to abstractly make marks relating to a closeup of what i seen when the fireworks exploded, the colour is relatable to the image as they were very light, bright and eye definitive colours. By applying the mixture to black cartridge paper I have used a blunt end to a pencil to dip the pVA and then uncontrollably create layered, thin patterns onto the surface. I love how when the PVA is dried even on the thinner, delicate lines they pick up the texture.
For this experiment again i have use blue watercolour mixed with PVA to create this composition whilst repeating the same technique of applying it by using a medium sized brush, To add to this composition i would just add a few more layers of PVA so when it drys it is clear but adds to texture.
