For this task I started to look into some repeat patterns of close ups of flowers, objects and places when I went on a observation trip to East London. I using drawing media such as acrylic, watercolour and fineliner. In this task I wanted to explore more line drawings and experiment on different paper materials such as tracing paper. Also, I tried to layer the drawings on top of each other to create depth with two different shades of the same colour. In this task I used a white gel pen to highlight certain areas where I could see the light. In the future, I would like to explore more mixed media work such as making my own 3D work.

For my task on talking colour I really enjoyed using oil paint on oil paint paper. As I was able to paint successfully in blending the colours easily. I have also drawn using oil pastels, watercolour, fine liners and coloured pencils. On image 5 I have used a multiple mediums and techniques such as blending oils paints, crosshatch with coloured pencils and add bold highlights with oil pastels. Overall, I was more comfortable in using oil paints for this task but I would like to practice more with the other techniques and mixed media in my future projects/tasks.
