Winey Paper

Winey Paper

I was very inspired by the artist Elisabetta Rogai, she is an artist that paints using wine. She said that this process is very interesting because the colour of the wine changes over time. 

That part about changing over time, i do this in my other pieces of artwork, swell as these pieces. 

I soaked pieces of paper in wine, red and white. 

I spread that occurred was interesting too to watch. 

All this is with one kind of special paper. 

What i love about these pieces is that even after a long period of time, they still smell strongly of wine. 

And the colour has slightly changed, is not as bright red anymore, and the mix of white and red has created patterns within the image. 

Whilst pouring, this is to recycle the wine, not to waste any, pour back onto the paper 

Made a few

• They smell strongly of wine
• Colour changing as time passes
• Patterns being formed during process kept patterns intact afterwards

Acryliced Cotton

Acryliced Cotton

I was in my experimental stage when i found out this interesting technique

So i continued on with it

I would create watered down acrylic paint in cups

Then placing cotton pads inside, one by one.

Placing them on the paper which in fact is a special kind of paper. i tried looking for it in UK art shops but they are yet to be seen. 

After i place the cotton in, i pull it out and place it in a creative order on the paper

After that i let it work its process

The Beauty about this is that their is a performance going on during the drying process, it continues to change. Every second form the start is different 

The water spreads first but still wet, the the colour follows. 

Its really a wonderful process, i enjoy it because i get to see it evolve every minute of the day whilst drying, and is very delicate at the end which gives it this unique touch. 

Here are some other examples of the pieces i made, all A3
