New Paintings : "Alleyway, 2014" , "Berwick Street, 2014" , "Deptford Market, 2014" 

This is the general view of the overall piece

I started doing this with Bricklane Market #1 and #2, and i thought it was a change and made it look very interesting. 

It can link to the streets of London as it has a similar visual appearance to a brick on a wall. 

"Alleyway, 2014" 

I was walking in london and i came across an alleyway that was kind of grim and dirty. No body gave it a second look, which i am not surprise but the artwork in the alleyway should be recognised. I used the images and text in this alleyway to create a painting that will look aesthetically pleasing, hopefully changing viewers minds and giving street art a second look whenever they see t in whatever situation. 

I am rather fond of this piece, Many things worked well in this. The paint splatter gave it this spray can feel to it and freedom of expressing on a surface. 

In the background i started painting texts that i found, then in the foreground i used this symbol. 

"Berwick Street, 2014" 

This was not a market nor an alleyway. It was a street. 

I wouldn't say this piece was very successful but it was good that i did it, to learn what went badly and what went well 

This compared to my other pieces feels less vibrant in colour use. 

"Deptford Market, 2014" 

This piece went the less successful 

Very plain, simple, empty

Feels lost in text and colour 

There is not as much depth in this painting because the background colour is similar to foreground image colours. 

 I will continually paint 

Next will be more Brick Lane market paintings. I feel that this market had a brilliant balance between text and imagery. I went to do research there twice and did a lot of research! 

Fruit smoothie Paintings

Fruit smoothie Paintings

I started this new process which i really enjoy doing

I concentrate most on two things

1. The continuos changing effect during the drying process

2. The smell 

which changes too as time passes

Its kind of like a smoothie

Smoothie first 

Ink Second

This is near the start 

You see how the water is starting to spread throughout the paper, this is the beginning of the process

Still changing....

Water spreads then the ink follows shortly after

It works by layer,

1. Water

2. Fruit

3. Ink

Water spreader even further, ink patterns evolving

This is the final outcome, after it dried. I doubt it dried out complete, still little damp

I am amazed but the transformation

----------------------------------------------------->Honey + Ink<--------------------------------------------------

I tried out honey before the fruit stages. 

I found that honey freezes the motion of the ink inside, like a chamber. 

It acts as a holding unit

The outcome creates an amazing 3Dimensional however there is a problem in using honey

Honey doesn't dry.

Honey was a difficult medium to maintain. I need to find a way to freeze it.

------------------------------------------------------>Lemon<--------------------------------------------------------

Here i used lemon. 

I also drew a little symbol on each piece, to indicate the fruit i used. 

Like a signature of the fruit
