Here are some more examples of my Painting work. I finalised my studies into exploring the properties of piant on 2D and 3D surfaces and textures and objects
I loosely applied the paint across the piece from the paint tube, layering the surface with the three colours, black, red and white.
I layered the piece above with black, pint and white paint, spiralling the paint around the Perspex, and then tapping the edge of it on the ground, so that the paint was forced down the surface, creating a jagged, almost stalactite effect.
This piece is the underside of the above piece, which still has an interesting painted effect.
Paint was placed at the top of the piece, on the exterior and in the inverted gaps in alternating colours, and then by holding the inner cone at the top of the metal, I tapped the base on the floor.
The paint flowed jaggedly down the metal, but still in straight lines. This piece is the last in the series which include the previous two pieces in which the method of creation was used.

I put singular drops of paint at the top of the above rod and holding the rod at the base, I tapped the rod against the ground. The jolts of impact made the paint slide in jagged lines down the rod, which create larger marks of paint when viewed through the adjacent side of the Perspex.
I started painting onto a cuboid shaped piece of wood, and I painted each side in a variety of colours and styles, so that no two sides would be the same.This was achieved by either dripping paint onto the wood with it held at an angle to catch the paint, or by smearing the stick along the wooden side with different coloured paint.The fact that no two sides are the same on the same shape, and all sides are painted in a variety of colours makes it quite striking
Here, I thickly rolled a matte-metal tube in black and white paint which had been loosely mixed together on a flat surface.The effect of the thick paint but fast-drying paint on the tube when stood vertically was that it would drip slowly down the tube, merging and pulling other paint down with it, creating a stalactite effect on its surface which I thought was very effective.
I found a large wooden structure (possibly once part of a crate), and decided to cover as much of the surface of it as I could, with my method of dripping paint from a long stick.I admired how the paint from the top shelf would drip onto the one below which in turn would overflow onto the bottom shelf, and how the paint flowed all along and down the sides, so it looks as if it is one combined coat of paint, when in reality it is an amalgamation of layers of colours of paint.
The above image shows the top of the cylinder where the paint was poured down the sides in small amounts.I used green and red paint in addition to white and black as I wanted to starkly contrast the monochrome colours with the more vibrant tones, and give a sense of brightness to the dark interior of the cylinder.
I wanted to try and investigate what kind of shapes that dribbling paint from a stick over a canvas could create.
I quite like the simplicity of the image, with them main focus of the picture being the large black shape in the centre, which to me looks a little like a dragonfly, thus emphasising the sense of movement used to create the picture.

The above canvas was continually worked on until finished, thus showing more subtle blending between the colours
These two pieces are both sidesof pone sheet of translucent perspex. I likethe effect of the ghostly image caused by viewing through to the underside of the other side of the Perspex piece.
This piece was created by applying black and white and grey paint, by dripping and manipulating the paint onto a piece of glass.
I applied a black base background, but then I dipped my dripping stick into the paint, and placed it randomly and repeatedly onto the canvas, creating a sort of linear effect. I then poured some white paint on it drops, and finally dribbled red point over the top to break from the monochrome.
This piece was produced by applying first black paint to a large textured sponge and sweeping it roughly across the canvas. Next I applied white paint to the sponge and repeated the same process.Then, I layered more black and white paint onto the canvas, manipulating it by breaking through the layers of paint with the end of the stick and making new movement across the canvas, creating a very interesting image with plenty of depth to it.
This piece was created from paint poured and dripped onto the canvas, and then by randomly dropping small bits of wood onto the paint, to act as arrows, tracks were made in the direction the wood was facing with the stick to create a criss-crossing of lines across it, which is quite striking.
This piece is actually a painting tray used when I work on 3D pieces, so all of the marks left have been cause by an amalgamation of all of my 3D work.
This large canvas contains additions of pieces of wood, polystyrene foam and clear thin plastic being used along with my dripped-paint painting technique, and so is the product of a developed process of creation.
I used many layers of dripped paint, paint being spread roughly using a hard spounge, and with other textuyred physical elements being added throughout the layers, with the plastic being placed onto the canvas last, to bring it out from 2D into the 3D realm.

Because of all the amazing work which Aardman does, breathing life into what is essentially little lumps of clay, they have made me wish more than anything to become a stop-motion animator and follow it as a profession.
and once my degree is over, I hope to be able to further this dream and take a course dedicated to Animation, so as to learn all I can to help for when I apply for this career. So, all I can for now say is, Happy Birthday Wallace & Gromit, and watch out Nick Park! :P
