After learning about different materials and what effects they give when certain mediums are used on them, I experimented with building texture with them. For my first experiment, I worked onto mountboard which provided a sturdy base for me to work onto. I ripped one of my print outs of a digital manipulation that I had previously done and added these to the background. I added to the background with a thin layer of white emulsion paint, being expressive with my mark making like Tobey does.
I stuck the digital manipulation that I was most happy with in the centre, which added a bright, vivid focal point. I further added black emulsion paint using quick strokes and also corrugated cardboard to almost frame the centre. I then used textured wallpaper to print red ink onto the surface of the cardboard. I decided to add more yellow and red ink and let in drip down the composition as I felt the divide between the monochrome palette and vibrant colours was too prominent and there wasn't a balance.
After this I added more black emulsion as there was too much brown space, and put white onto area around the outside to add highlights to the top of the cardboard. I also stuck on some homemade paper to the board so that there was more texture in the composition.
I like this composition as it combines all of my artists;the expressive marks of Tobey, the colour placement in the digital manipulation and Chila Burman as the photograph was the outcome of a poster. If I was to do this again, I don't think I would place the homemade paper onto the board as I don't think that it is contributing to the outcome as a whole. Moreover, I would cover the background more as a feel that there is still too much brown space.
