Clementine Woodard – Talking Colour

In the task talking colour, I wanted to use the brief to explore areas of London I hadn’t before. Therefore, I specifically chose Kew Gardens and Kensington Palace Gardens, areas of West London as my focus points. I found the process of taking photos very rewarding and I enjoyed sourcing tools and equipment to create these pieces of art. Not only this, but I also decided to incorporate my new knowledge from a lecture of colour palettes and use a limited palette with similar shades in each separate piece. This made the end result extremely satisfying to see the pieces as more of a collection together. I experimented with watercolour, pastels, pencil shading, newspaper, dissolvable fabric, fine liner pens and many more art tools to manipulate my pieces in the way I wanted. I found that I chose the type of style or pen/paint based on what I was drawing to capture it in its full essence. This has been a very enriching project.
