Using black and white chalk I built up the tones on the brush and shovel.

I then added a slightly lighter tone between the boot and the shovel to separate the two, but also to help make them
both jump off the page at me. Had I used a darker colour here they would have just been lost in the background. Then using the black and white chalk I slowly began filling in the background
building up each tone as I went. At this stage something is starting to really bother me about this drawing. I just cant put my finger on it though at this point. I then went on to build up the
tones in the back ground above the boot using the black and white chalk until all the tones where completed. This completed the drawing. However I felt something was not right.

As I wasnt happy with the image I decided to sit them both side by side, to see if I could pin point what it was I
wasnt happy with as I was happy with my test piece. But even looking at them together I could not figure it out.
Having taken photos of them both I decided to sit the photos together on the Laptop. I shrunk the A1 down so they
were the same size. It was now I realised what was bothering me so much. If you look at my yellow circles you can
see in my test image the black tone is nice and diagonal at its bottom edge but is slightly rounded in the final image.
This played a big part in grounding my work and I felt it lost this grounding. Also in the area marked in green you
can see there is a nice smooth curved line which flowed much nicer, but in the final piece this is chunky. This is also
the same in the area marked in blue. The area marked red is much darker in the test than in the final and this helps
to distinguish the forground from the background.

Although this is not an exact replica of my testing image, I was surprised to see just how close it got to the testing
image. I found the testing image had a much rougher look than that of the final image which I really liked. I started
to as ke myself why that was given I used the same techniques. What I realised was the one thing I didnt test was
the effects of the different surface I was using. In the test I used acid and lignin free 125gsm paper, whilst on the
final work I used cartridge paper roll 110gsm. This was a significant player as the tooth of the paper made a huge
difference as I felt this rough look I spoke of in the testing image gave the work a more authentic look about it. This
was defiantly lacking in the final work, which becomes very notable in the detail of the boot, where the boot does
up, but also in the forground and the background. As lovely as the final drawing is I much prefer the test image as a
result of this.

My Response
The research on this slide has led me to the understanding that there can be many
different meanings attached to white on white still life's. As a result each still life
would take on its own meaning and understanding of white, based on the choice of
products used in the still life. My still life includes a soup mug, breakfast bowl,
baking dish, mask and hand and foot, so it looks at the human form, time and the
cycle of dishes accessed from eating over a day.

When I was setting up my still life's for possible consideration I was mindful to remember to use natural light just as Ann Turley does with her work so that I could produce subtle
differences. I was also taking on board Phoebe McDonald idea of investigating time and space and then linking it back to a cycle. With this in mind I decided to use a bowl for breakfast,
soup cup for lunch, casserole dish for dinner, a mask, hands and feet to represent the human form. I am considering the time and space linked back to the cycle of human consumption.

I wanted to consider different angles and combinations to see what might be of interest. At
one point I tried just the dishes on their own. This was interesting, but I didnt feel it really
represent what I was trying to get across. I then looked at the mask, hands and feet, but I felt
they were giving the message they were hiding. So I wondered if I was to combine the dishes
and mask what would this say. On observing it, it just appeared confused to me. So I decided
to combine the lot. This I really liked and felt it was right for my idea. But I wanted to see
what would happen if I ran part of it of the page. Would it lose the idea or create a way for
the viewer to imagine what might be happening. I did like it, but not as much as the one that
showed all of it. This made me wonder what if it was done from a birds eye view. This I
found really interesting, but felt it might cause some confusion if I am not able to paint it in
such a way that the viewer can understand it. So at this stage I am considering doing number
three, however this is subject to change depending on how my testing turns out.

During the testing stage I found myself very unsure of how
best to go about it. I knew to create white on white would
not be an easy task. In fact for me at first it seemed
impossible. But the one thing that did sit comfortable with
me was the idea of creating the image as a whole when
testing my ideas as this way I could see how they would
interact with one another. The other thing I felt important
was to use many different shades of white. The question was
how would I accomplish this idea.

In the end I accomplished this by adding the tiniest spot of
various watercolours to slightly tint the shade of white.
These colours where chosen based on what they appeared
like to me in the photo.

Project 3: Ex 3 Tonal Drawing/Painting/Collage of White on White Still Life - Testing
After I had taken a photo of my still
life, I looked closely at the photo
and asked myself what the different
shades reminded me of in terms of
colours. As I looked very closely I
started to see yellow, blue, green,
grey and pink, within these different
shades of white.
Project Three: Ex 1, 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research
Project 3: Ex 3 Tonal Drawing/Painting/Collage of White on White Still Life - Testing
Now I had established in my mind the different shades, I
found myself asking how I might separate the colours so
that the different products might become more separated
as to not blend together so much that you couldnt tell
one from the other. I felt if I could raise just a couple of
objects to provide a little texture it might help to resolve
this issue.

Studying my photo of my still life I felt the foot was the brightest white of the whole image. So I decided to use Mont Marte Titanium white Silver Series acrylic paint leaving some of the
white of the natural paper showing through as I felt it would add to the character of the foot. Next I noted that the large toe seemed to have a blue tinge to it. This was also present in part of
the bowl as well as several of the shadows
around the image. Asking myself how I could
create this tinge of blue with it still being a
shade of white rather than blue I found myself
trying the idea of mixing the smallest pin drop
of Mont Marte Two Seasons Light Blue Water
Colour paint into the Mont Marte Titanium
white Silver Series acrylic paint. At first I felt
it was two blue, so played around a little
adding in more white until I found my tinge of
blue that was suitable to create this shadow. I
later fine myself repeating this same
technique using Mont Marte Two Seasons
Lavender Water Colour paint into the Mont
Marte Titanium white Silver Series acrylic
paint, to shade part of the mask and foot. I
further repeat this technique using Mont
Marte Ivory Black Water Colour paint into the
Mont Marte Titanium white Silver Series
acrylic paint, which was used on the mask,
baking dish, bowl and parts of the
background.

Using this same mix I then added a pinch of Mont Marte Two Seasons Light Yellow Water Colour paint which was used on the background and bowl. I also used a mix of Mont Marte Two
Seasons Light Green Water Colour paint into the Mont Marte Chinese white Silver Series acrylic paint, for the baking dish and then a mix of Mont Marte Two Seasons Light Yellow Water
Colour paint, with Mont Marte Chinese white Silver Series acrylic paint which was used on the background and bowl. The a mix of Mont Marte Two Seasons Pink Water Colour paint into the
Mont Marte Chinese white Silver Series acrylic paint, for the background and parts of the hand and finally a mix of Mont Marte Two Seasons Fast Light Yellow Water Colour paint mixed with
Mont Marte Chinese white Silver Series acrylic paint, for the hand. I wanted to raise the mask as I felt it was important to highlight the human element in this image, but also I new I needed to
separate it from the surrounding products so that it could be seen as a separate element. To do this I used Mont Marte Modelling Paste as its great for creating texture and adding depth to an
image. I added the modelling paste around the outline of the mask and also over the eyebrow's to add interest. Then with Mont Marte Titanium white Silver Series acrylic paint, I filled in the
entire face both inside the modelling paste and also the outer edge as a background colour. This was important as I noted that the white of the mask was much brighter than that of the paper. So
far I am happy with the way this is taking form. I feel that the shades of white are working well together. They are providing enough of a difference to see they are doing different things, but
still closes enough to still be considered white on white.

I wanted to add texture to the outside of
the bowl to create a textured surface
between the foot, Baking dish and bowl.
To do this I used Mont Marte Impasto as
its clear and wont effect the colour of my
paint, but will provide a nice texture based
on my brush stroke.

Whilst I feel I successfully delivered a
white on white still life, I find myself not
very happy with the outcome. I guess
because I had hoped to make the different
products stand out more than they do.
Looking back I think that maybe I could
have or should have used a lot more
texture in the work to help to create this
difference I was looking for. Whilst I
enjoyed this process, I found it difficult to
work with white on white as my eyes
really struggled to make out the different
tones I was creating. I found this very off
putting as I like to feel confident in what I
am trying to produce, so this become a bit
of a personal challenge for me.

The photo of my intended landscape was taken about 1.30pm
in the afternoon. It was a reasonably cold day with little sun
out and few cloud up in the sky. The direction of the sun was
shining from the right of me slightly in front of me. I find the
image very interesting to look at in terms of its composition,
but may consider removing the bird from the scene. Through
observation I have noted that the dark tones lie in the
foreground, middle ground and background. Most of the light
tones are in the foreground and background whilst the mid

Through the thumbnail sketch I was able to determine the relative size of the
people in comparison to each other. It was also useful in determining the angles
of the grass on the sand and the best way to consider the type of mark making
required to give the most appropriate effects.
Here I was looking at the structure of the polls and how I could blur the ends to
make them look somewhat reflective in the water. I found by blocking in the
colour and then sliding it down with my finger it gave me a little tinge of it in
the water. Then if I use a tissue to slide horizontally over the water it gives a
nice reflective appearance that I am looking for. The other thing was the water
and how I could make it clear that it was water not land. What I found was
running a few lines horizontally and blending them in gave the appearance of
water marks.

When creating the foliage in the sand it will be important to get
the angles correct as well as the different textures and tones. As
these textures, shapes and tones will help to build form and
create depth within the image.
Creating the water and the
sand is a little tricky. The
waters tone needs to be a
little lighter than the tone of
the sand adjacent to the water.
But the sand in the forground
adjacent to the sand near the
water is slightly lighter again
in tone. It is important that

In idea one my aim was to make the earing as a monument. I first did it in
the grey scale (Top design 1). But then I wondered how it might look if I
were to add a little red to the earing (Top Design 2). This lead me to
wonder about the lips as I felt it might help with the relationship of the
head and earing (Top Design 3). I then removed it from the lips and
looked at the eye (Top Design 4) and finally I looked at them all together
(Top design 5). I then repeated this process with the bottom set only
adding a lot more red into the design of the earing. After doing all this
testing I decided that the earing looked best with the extra red in its
design. I also felt that having the lips also in red made a nice connection
but one which I felt made sense as this is often a natural way of life for
some.

I liked the unusual weirdness of this design, but the more I worked with it
the more I felt I needed something that stood out more for a monumental
work.

I started to think about nail clippers and wondered how a large
hand and nail clippers might look with a small hand at the end
with a nail being cut. This was interesting, but I realised it
could be considered from different angles, which you can see
here in design 1, 2 and 3. But then I did design 4 which was yet
another angle and this I really liked.

I then asked myself what would happen if the nail had red nail
polish on it. I found this very effective as it seemed to really
emphasized the size of the nail and helped to enlarge the
clippers. Taking this one step further I also added polish to the
small had at the other end. It was now I realise the sized
different stood out and become so much clearer.

Problem though is I just couldnt see myself in this art work as
I found it somewhat boring. Which made me question if I
couldnt warm to it would others? Im guessing maybe not.

This idea come to light when my kids were having a jam
session and singing a silly song about a loveable carrot
they made up. As they were singing I started to see in my
mind an oversized carrot or carrots with a tiny rabbit eating
it.

First I did a group of carrots with the rabbit (Design 1).
The rabbit did make the carrots look quiet large, but I felt
the rabbit got lost in the image, which them brought it back
to just a bunch of carrots.

With this in mind I then did 1 oversized carrot with the
rabbit. I was feeling more comfortable with this.

Searching once more for new ideas I decided to consider my sons beer glass
he had been given for his 21
st
birthday and his christening mug from when he
was 12 months old.

When considering the composition I decided to look at two possibilities. The
first displaying the mugs side by side. This I liked as you got a clear view of
each and could easily see the difference in size. However It didnt harmonized
to me, due to the gap between them.

The second one displayed the beer mug moved back into the distance as I felt
this would help to highlight that the beer mug was an monumental object, once
the mug was enlarged. Technically the mug should get smaller the further
away it is, but by enhancing it size will it will appear much larger. The distance
between the two would provide a nice depth in the work

I also toyed around in Coral
PaintShop Pro with the idea
of using just the beer mug,
duplicating it and shrinking
one and enlarging the other,
placing them so that the
smaller one was just in front
of the larger one. From a
composition point of view I
really liked this, as I felt it
demonstrated the
relationship between the
contrast of scale and
perspective well.
I then decided to have a closer look
at the products to see if they bared
any type of relationship between
themselves. It was at this point I
realised that historically both had
great significance as a monumental
victory in my sons life, as they
showed two very important
milestones in his life from childhood
and young adulthood. Having noted
this I have decided it would be best
to use the two different mugs based
on number 3 composition to arrive at
number 4 outcome. Which shall be

I have decided to test each of
the above mediums. The
testing will involve looking
closely at the marks on the

mug as well as the tones in
the background.
I will be using Rene Magritte Technique of using known object as I feel it
will make it very easy for my audience to understand the connection in size

With my testing I first taped of my area and then sketched in the beer mug,
just heavy enough that it would leave a slight mark once covered. I then used
Daler-Rowney Artists Willow Charcoal Extra Thick 15mm , to block in the
background colour to see if I would be able to accomplish the correct shade
once I rubbed it back. I found that this was hard to rub back enough to get the
tone as light as I required, which I felt was important because of the glass. I
then created the background for the emblem on the glass using the graphite
brushed over with turps. I chose this as it left a nice smooth looking surface
with a bit of a shine to it. I then used a little Mont Marte acrylic white paint
watered down to create the highlights in the emblem.
The text and the decretive lines I used Mont Marte acrylic lamp black paint, dipped in water, which
was painted on with a Taklon Oil Brush size 6. Using the Mont Marte Thin Willow Charcoal, I then
created the outlines of the glass, smudging parts with my fingers to give the impression of glass.

Again I started by taping of my area and sketching in the
Christening Mug so that it was hard enough to leave a faint line
once covered over. I then used smudged graphite to fill in the
background as I wanted to see if this would give me a lighter
outcome than the charcoal on the previous test with the beer
mug. I found that the graphite gave me a nicer brighter tone to
work with so that the glass would have a nicer background to
work with. The Christening mug I felt would look best with the
charcoal as I felt from the testing that the texture would really
produce that metal look I was after. I then used a Mont Mart,
Woodless Graphite, moving between a HB and 2B, to fill in
the clown. Then I added a touch of red acrylic paint to the
mouth an nose as I felt this was symbolic of the everyday
clown, but also the original colour of the clown on the mug.

The next important thing was to consider the different types of paper as the tooth of the paper could alter my outcomes. My small test were carried out on Size A3 Acid & Lignin free
125gsm paper. But the actual work with be completed on Size A1 Cartridge paper roll 110gsm. To test it I started by filling in the background with horizontal strokes (1). I then turned the
page on its side and sketched in horizontal strokes once more(2). Once I blended this with soft toilet paper and also cotton wool balls, I found it left a really rough look (3), unlike the
smooth appearance I got in my trial. To try to resolve this issue I decided to see what would happen if I placed turps over it using cotton balls (4).I found this gave me a very interesting
look, despite it still being a little rough.

I then needed to see if the
charcoal would still react the
same way as it did in the
previous test (5). I found the
charcoal seems to stick more
to the surface so I will need
to be very careful with my
placement. However I do feel
this will work quiet well.
Finally to see if the
acrylic paint will
still work the way I
have intended it to
(6). I found that the
paint seemed to
move even easier
across the surface,
so it will certainly
be ok.

Once my paper was cut to A1 and then stuck down securely to the board using the same technique as in my test I, I filled in the
background with horizontal strokes (1). I then turned the page on its side and repeated the process (2). I then blended this with soft toilet
paper and also cotton balls, which I then went over with turps using cotton balls .
So far I am really satisfied with the outcome
of the background. It still has a bit of a rough
look to it, but I feel this has provided a really
nice surface to work on. I also feel that the
tone is really suitable for the beer mug, but
at the same time will provide a nice contrast
with the christening mug.

Building up the emblem required many steps. I first blocked in the tones of the middle section using Woodless Graphite, HB, 2B, 6B, and 8B and blended
them with a blending stick. Once blended I went over them with turps (1). Then I used the same proses and materials to block in the juxtaposed oval (2),
which I then repeated again on the outer oval (3). Then using a Taklon Oil Brush size 6, and Mont Marte acrylic lamp black paint I painted in the text (3).
Using the same materials I then drew in the decretive lines (4). Then using both an artist kneadable rubber and a hard white rubber, which I cut very small I
went about pulling out some of the tones to create highlighted areas. (5). Once I had done this I built up each of the four circles using both of the rubbers,
some Mont Marte acrylic lamp black paint and Mont Marte acrylic Titanium White paint (5). Finely I went around the outside with a Woodless Graphite, HB
to define the line which I carefully rubbed back with a blending stick (5).

My aim was to get a metal appearance to represent the emblem as it appeared on the product (6). I feel I have captured this material well. My line work with
the Acrylic paint worried me some as it wasnt as clean and tidy as I would have liked. Still I am reasonable happy so far.

I started to build up the tones on the christening mug using Mont Marte Thin Willow Charcoal (1), blending it as I went with a blending stick and then spraying it with Nuart workable fixative
in-between the layers until I achieved the final outcome (2). I then moved on to the little clown (2) using several Woodless Graphite, HB, 4B, and EE depicting his clothing and facial
expression (2). Stepping away from the work and looking back at it, I felt that the christening mug was a nice contrast of scale compared to that of the emblem (3). Once more I was trying to
create a metal look so that it was a true reflection of the actual christening mug (4). I believe I have accomplished this reasonably well.

I began to create the beer glass, using Mont Marte Thin Willow Charcoal and a blending stick. Slowly and carefully I added my tones to the left side and began to blend using with Nuart
workable fixative in-between the layers (1). I continued to do this using the same technique across the rim of the glass and down the left side of the glass (2). I then moved on to the handle
where I carefully drew in the lines still using the same technique until I was happy with the look and feel of the handle (3) Finally I created the base of the beer glass (3). I had to be careful here
as I was doing the base, but also the reflection of the glass inside. I needed to be sure that the reflection was kept lighter than the base itself to insure the two did not become lost in one another
(3). In my trial I realised I had not considered the table the mugs were sitting on. So I needed to consider where the table should be placed as this would make a difference to the perspective, but
also I didnt wont the mugs to be hanging of the edge (4). I decided to place it just under the handle of the beer mug as this would allow the mugs to sit flat on the table without hanging off, but
would also allow the distance to be shown from the handle of the mug to the table top (4). Whilst creating the table top I also added in a shadow using Mont Marte Thin Willow Charcoal just
below the glass beer mug moving back to the background as the light source was coming from the left of the beer mug (4). I also created a shadow next to the christening mug (4). As I worked
my tones for the table top using Mont Marte Thin Willow Charcoal , I allowed them to fade out on the left side as I felt it would provide a more interesting feel to the drawing and knew the eye
would automatically make sense of this (4). Finally I added the primary colour using Kaiser Colour red acrylic paint to the clowns nose and mouth (5). I decided to add this primary colour here
as I felt it was symbolic to the clown but also had a connection to the christening mug itself (5). I also felt that it helped to draw attention to how small the christening mug was in contrast to the
glass beer mug. I was really happy with the outcome of the final picture as I felt I managed to meet the criteria , but also managed to incorporate Rosemarie Adcock use of brilliant colours , by
depicting my tonal scale well and also Rene Magritte concept of using known products.
Architecture - Italy - line art Perspective
Illustration Renaissance Court of the Palazzo
Massimi alle Colonne c.1535, at Rome by
Baldassarre (Tommasso) Peruzzi, (1481-1536).
The artist and architect was a contemporary of
Raphael and Bramante. In the y (Peruzzi c.1535)
Baldassarre Peruzzi was an Italian architect, painter and draftsman. Peruzzi was a provisional
figure during the early and high Renaissance in Italy. Peruzzis theories were forward-looking
and had a great influence during the 16
th
century on many architects. He himself was inspired by
Bramante the Italian architect and perspectivist painter as well as Raphael an architect and
painter. Peruzzi considered his sketch of the Palazzo Massimi alle Colonne to have been his
best work. (Landscaping 2014)


My Response
Peruzzie has used a combination of linear devices to give structure to is drawing of the Palazzo
Massimi alle Colonne. This resulted new meaning which lead to his viewers being able to
interpret his work. He described his Tuscan columns and pilasters with linear lines and random
markings. His used contour lines and geometric patterns to describe the strapwork, and basic
horizontal and vertical lines to build the structure. All of this results in Peruzzi being very
successful in his delivery of his ideas. His work is reminiscent of many gothic cathedrals. The
detailed patters are very eye catching and spark a great deal of interest and provoke emotions
when viewing them. When doing a similar work I dont think I would change things or do them
differently as I feel this work is beautiful as it is and doesnt require change. I will use Peruzzis
work to inform my line only drawing by using his idea of contour lines for decorative work.

(Amor 2004)
Rick Amor is a printmaker and graphic artist from Melbourne. He is the first artist since the
Vietnam War that the Australian War Memorial has sanctioned as the war artist for East Timor.
Rick has worked in London, Barcelona and New York and has had 50 solo exhibitions since
1974. (Galleries 2014)

My Response
Rick Amor uses strong vertical and horizontal lines which appear to be fast moving. He also
uses ghost lines which are also vertical and horizontal. I feel his idea was to show the moving
through of the corridor, which I believe these fast moving lines have successfully depicted his
idea of moving through the corridor nicely. The work reminds me of some of the thin corridors
at the Melbourne Museum. The work sparks my emotions as when I observe the work I feel
like it draws me into the corridor and gives me the feeling that I am moving through it
personally. Its interesting because of how the movement plays out in the lines. If I were to do
a similar work Id darked the ghost lines to see the effects that would take place and how it
would affect the outcome. I will use Amors work to inform my line only drawing by using his
idea of fast moving horizontals and vertical lines to show the structural lines of the work.

Drawing was a means of expression for Matisse. His subjects would often determine how he would display
his artistic ability and of what medium he would use. Matisse would often work with charcoal, pencil,
crayon, etcher's burin, lithographic tusche or paper (Matisse 2011). He enjoyed studying the female form
which resulted in his work often being sensual and suggestive. Often inspired by classical mythology his
work focused on both reality and imaginary worlds. Many of his works were informed by his own previous
drawings offering developmental ideas for both style and composition. They were intended to be quick
gestures, which communicated his inner thoughts of a subject in a non-verbal fashion. His contemporary
work featured both the female form and still lives, which were simple, yet sophisticated focussing on space
and form. As he developed his skills in line work, he produced less detail, with bolder and thicker contour
lines.

My Response
Matisse gesture drawings would convey mood, feeling and motion through his implied lines. To help is
audience understand he would relate his works to know products such as leaves in terms of their shapes.
He increased the value in his work by varying the weight of his lines. As a result his techniques are
successful in their delivery to his audience. The way he chooses to use line reminds me greatly of the line
work used in Jean-Baptiste-Simon Chardin drawings. The way Matisse combines his style of lines helps to
spark emotion in his audience. His use of known products helps to bring interest to his work. If I were to
consider doing a similar work I wouldnt change much, but maybe play with the weight in the line work to
alter the vales just for comparison reasons. I will use Matisses large contour lines to inform the markings
on my cupboard handles, hinges and appliances.

Leonardo da Vinci drawing of the Adoration of the Magi was a preliminary study for a commissioned he was approached to do for the monastery of
San Donato a Scopeto near Florence with the intent to be located at the main altar (Office 2014). His employment, measurements and details for the
background was astonishing in regard to their accuracy. He began with the ground, followed by the building plans and finally the human form and
animals to bring life to the scene. With the use of a piece of thin thread, some pins, pointed styles and a millimetric ruler he created a perspective grid to
enlarge his drawings. There are many visual differences between the drawing and the painting of the Adoration of the Magi, for example the
perspective grid. Leonardo also altered the viewpoint, to free up the viewpoint by reducing the background. The ruins of the pagan temple located on the
right are no longer visible, whilst the building to the right has moved closer to the central axis.
My Response
Leonardos techniques are well-
known in the art world, as a
result of his representation of
the human form. His work also
displays dynamic movement
through the human form and
action adjacent to Mary and
Jesus, which were his focal
point. He further uses
chiaroscuro (light and dark
shades) to depict how close the
human form is located to the
ground. All of these things
make his work successful. His
work reminds me of the
Christmas activity scene. The
chiaroscuro style really draws
my attention and provokes my
emotions as I find the shift from
dark to light shades really
interesting and captivating. If
doing a similar piece of work I
might consider altering the
perspective to see if these
techniques would still be
successful

Vermeers The Milkmaid, Diane E. Kraus, 8 x10
(Kraus 2012)
Diane E.Kraus considers herself to be a freelance artist and illustrator, who
consider herself a realist that works with several mediums: pencil,
charcoal, oil and digital art. She studied many subjects throughout her
career as an artist. During which she did a little 8 x 10 pencil drawing of
Vermeers The Milkmaid. Vermeer was a master of both perspective and
light. The Milkmaide was a result of Vermeers most passionate period
during the 1660s where he developed many new techniques and focused
on tone, contrast through a both chiaroscuro and camera obscura styles
(Yovisto 2012).

My Response
Diane has drawn the drawing from the same central eye level that Vermeer
has. She has also used very fine random marks, diagonal linear lines and
crosshatching to define the clothing, drapery and basket is such a way that
it is an excellent representation of Vermeers work. So I would say Dianne
was extremely successful in Bringing across her intentions. The work
reminded me a lot of Leonaert Bramer work, particularly in terms of the
protagonists clothing. Her excellent capture of light and strong line and
tonal techniques mesmerize me as I feel it adds great interest through
provoking emotions. As much as I love Dianes technique, I would
consider trying this style in line only, if I were to do a simular work.

Jan Schoonhoven, Untitled, 1979 tusche on
paper 38 3/4 x 25 inches Peter Freeman
Gallery, new York, NY (Space)
Jan Schoonhoven was a Dutch artist from the area of (1914 1994) who used drawings as his main focal point in
regard to his relief work. He would general concern himself with materials such as gouache, pen, various inks
and pencil. His work was reminiscent of Paul Klees during the 1940s and early 1950s and depicting the abstract
form and along with his bizarre, strange figures which existed only in fantasy. At a later point he joined the Dutch
informal group around the 1950s. Their views were to move away from impulsiveness and bias opinions that
previous generation envisioned. Much of his work is produced using repetitive gouache or ink hatch marks
which he tends to bring to life by gestural applications. During 1976 his repetitiveness of gesture was reduces,
however it still remained rigidly structured, but moved away from lines and marks.

My Response
Jan Schoonhoven untitled work explored texture, which he tried to describe to us. He did this with his choice of
marks and lines. As it is possible to see clearly how Schoonhoven build-up his form and tone along with his
roughness of the surface, I believe he is successful in trying to describe the texture to his audience. His work,
reminiscent of Paul Klees, depicting the abstract form here reminds me of carpet. I find Schoonhoven work to
be captivating to view due to his use of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines as his patterns he forms with them
are so eye catching resulting in my 100 percent attention. If I was to consider trying a similar work, Id take on
board his ideas and try to see what other type of patterns I might be able to create that are eye catching. His use
of lines will help to inform my depiction of carpet in my drawing of The Viewing, 2014 .

Joseph Mallord William Turner was considered one of the greatest Romantic artists. He was best known for his use of brilliant
colours in his landscapes and seascape. His works often included engravings, oils, watercolours and graphite. His work was
largely influenced by Willem van der Velde, Claude and Richard Wilson. Turner was often criticised for his interest and
expression of contemporary technology, which is now commonly acknowledged (Gallery).
(Turner c. 1822)
My Response
Turner in his drawing of Study of a Boat has used a
combination of smudging and both soft and hard
graphite marks to create meaning and shading. His
soft yet quick marks help the viewer to understand the
movement in the water as the boat moves across the
sea. The way he tends these lines and smudges brings
his idea across to the public very successfully. His
work reminds me a lot of his fathers William
Turner, particularly in regard to their use of light and
colours in paintings, but their drawings are also very
similar in style when it comes to boats. Turner has a
sense of freedom in his lines which capture me and
make me stand to attention. They tend to drift into his
smudges which become somewhat mesmerising and
as a result provoke my interest and capture my
emotions. If I were to do a similar work, Id properly
use slightly darker shades as I feel some of the
emotion is lost in the viewing as its difficult to see
the details. I will use Turners work to help inform my
edges in my rumpled paper.

As a young man in his teens and twenties, Giorgio Morandi for a
short time toyed with Futurism and metaphysical art. Having rejected
artistic group Morandi was considered a self-contained figure. His
work focused entirely on landscapes and still lifes. He would use the
same bottles, tins and boxes over and over to search for new
arrangements and likelihoods. Morandi is well known for his
etchings. The technique of etching fascinated him because of its
tenderness and meticulous craftsmanship (Figura 2014).

My Response
Giorgio Morandi etching of the Large Still Life with Coffeepot
used layers of hatched and cross-hatched line to define form. He
controlled his tonalities and carefully combined them with
compositions which involved architecture that would insist his public
would examine and deliberate on them. He created his atmosphere
through his use of lighting provoking emotions and portraying an
eerie stillness in his work. It is these techniques that make his work so
successful in bringing his meaning and ideas across to his viewers.
His work reminds me of Paul Cezanne Still Life Bowl and Milk Jug
in terms of how he arranges his products and does their shading. The
way he captures light in his drawings really pulls my eyes into the
canvas and provokes my interest. As much as I really admire
Morandies work if I were to do a similar piece of work I think Id
have to have my cross hatching a little more free as Id like it to feel
less structured and more natural. I will use Morandies work to
inform the light in my work on the crumpled paper. (Morandi 1933)

Romare Bearden is an African-American writer and artist. His work is very focused on cartoons, oil and collage. He started by fashioning scenes of the American South which focused on
harmony and collaboration within the community, but after his personal experience of World War II as part of the US Army on the European front he began to try to express what he felt was
lacking in humanity. (Wikipedia 2014) His work become more abstract during the 1950s, which later showed up again in his collage works during the 1960s, when he became part of the
Harlem-based art group referred to as The Spiral, which looked at the fight for civil rights of African-American people. His technique with Collage included a variety of papers, such as
matte coloured construction papers, pressure sensitive glossy laminates, brightly printed commercial sheets called Color-Aid, wallpaper and wrapping paper, as well as bright foils and
patterned fabrics, (ART 2014). He often modifies the external of the papers along with different elements of his collage through adding additions like painted areas with spray paint, along
with traditional brush work when applying colour, scraping and sanding techniques with intent to coarsen and interfere with the image by removing colour and bleaching areas. (ART 2014)

My Response
Bearden approach to forming figures and backgrounds by using
many different elements is one of the things that make his work so
successful. But the other is his ideas of using some of the vivid
details and incorporating it into a different space within the work as
it adds a great deal of interest to the work. His work reminds me of
Sally Smarts work Dame Kindness as she also likes to take parts
out of context ie. The eye in this case and use it else where in her
work. What really draws my attention and toys with my emotions
is the looks on the peoples faces. Particularly the one with his hand
up to his face as I find this interesting as it makes me question what
his thinking about and why his in front of this building. I love this
work as it is so I wouldnt change it, but if I was to do a similar
work, I would try to using parts of the structure out of context to
see its effects. I will use Beardens idea of taking part of the image
out of context to help inform my own collage.

Sally Smart has an interest in things that are unstable, eerie and
misleading. Which she explores through investigate shadows,
warning sign, imaginings, transformations and memories located
in the subconscious. She combines these with memories of tales
learned during childhood, as well calling to mind things faced
during life experiences (Australia 2014). Smart draws much of her
inspiration through sources such as Dadaism and Surrealism. Her
work focuses on collage and multi-layered installations and
paintings which are driven by her interest in feminism and her
personal need to take risks (Australia 2014).

My Response
Smarts work is incredibly successful because of how she draws
from historical aspects which focus on the representation of global
issues that involve identity both from a personal and social
context, also cultural uncertainty, and immigration. Her use of
symbolism such as the ship as a metaphor for these global issues
also help to make her work successful as it helps the individual to
understand and interpret her work. Smarts work reminds me of
Shadie Ghadirian work Like Every day (Domestic life), which
uses kitchenware, which acts as a metaphor for the debate about
the womens body as it whether it should or shouldn't be covered.
Her associations with womens practice through her use of process
such as sewing and stitching help to draw the emotional feeling
attached to the work as it draws on my identity as women, which I
find so interesting. I do like this work the way it is, but would like
to experiment with her ideas regarding a more defined topic like
domestic violence or something along this line. Her use of fading
tones to create depth and space I will use to help inform my

Black Painting 2, Frances Kuehn, Painting Acrylic, Size: 32 x 24
x 2 in (Kuehn 2011) Frances Kuehn is a contemporary realist who
worked with the human form until late 2003,
when her body of work shifted toward realistic
abstracts. Kuehn tends to work mainly with
acrylic paints.(Kuehn 2012)

My Response
Kuehn used black and white acrylic paint to mix
a variety of tones, which she then used to
describe her elements in her painting of Black
Painting 2. She had an amazing talent for
painting drapery, which flowed so smoothly, and
an eye for detail. It is these two elements put
together that make her work so successful, and
enables her to convey her ideas to her audience.
Her work brings to mind the work of Sean
David Wright titled Drapery Study as I find
their drapery work is very simular. I find the
work draws me in with its magical tones and
the way the drapery just falls so nicely. I find it
interesting how her ability to blend tones is
made to look so easy. If I were to do a simular
work I wouldnt change a thing. Instead I would
strive to achieve the same quality of work. It is
this skill ability of Kuehn that I hope to use to
inform my black on black still life.

BLACK RAIN
Andrea Paganini
Italy
Mixed Media
Size: 34.6 x 59.1 x 1.6 in
(Paganini)
Andrea Paganini is an Italian contemporary artist whose body of work includes paintings, photography and sculpting. He makes use of an assortment of
mediums depending on his required outcome.

My Response
It is hard for me to judge this work based on actual facts as there appears to be nothing at all written about the work. However it is my opinion that Paganini
either uses a full brush or a squeeze bottle to run the paint down the surface forming these beautiful drippy lines, which takes on all different lengths and
forms. I really like the effect he gets when he mixes up the mediums using what appears to be the same technique to apply each one to the surface. I think this
process successfully conveys his ideas of black rain. What I find interesting is how the black medium unlike the others tends not to run down the pages, but
rather, its applied carefully and then possible splattered. The lighter tones in the background really make me sense the rain but the black medium really
changes my emotions as it becomes very dim and dark. His work reminds me of an artist that goes by the name Peter Norvill who painted the painting The
City. (Norvill 2007)

If I were to do a simular work I would keep the technique as I feel it works
very well, but I would be inclined to try different mediums to test out what
possibilities each may bring. Paganinis successful use of mixed medium is
what Id like to use to inform my work. I think my black on black still life
would really benefit from the use of different materials.

Phoebe McDonald is an artist from Brisbane who's body of work is focused on the interactions
and short term effects of natural light over time and space and how its perceived. She further
explores these elements through cyclic events, which are happening through out the natural
environment.(McDonald 2013)

My Response
Phoebe McDonald work is successful due to her ability to be able to interconnect all her ideas so
that they bring together the natural lights effect over duration of time and space. By studying this
she draws in her audience captivating them with the ideas and bringing fourth their emotions and
interest when they start to see the effects through her works. Her work brings to mind Sylvia
Hommert work as she likes to create textural panels with items such as beeswax, resin, glitter,
aquatint, so that she can produce reflective properties of light with the intent to show how the
light interacts with the immediate environment.(Solomon 2012) I love that when I look at
McDonalds work you can see the tones change right before your eyes. This really captures my
attention and keeps me interested and engaged with the work for some time. If I were to do a
simular work Id have to do it based on the same concept at first in order to really understand her
process. Then I might wonder of to try it in other ways.

Ann Turley is a well known artist living and working in Roselindale, MA. Turley likes to work with many different mediums such as pastel oils, and water based materials. She investigates
different subject matters such as landscapes, figures and still life's. Turley is a realist and interpretive drawer which tends to be informed by her own artistic vision. Inspired by the work of
Giorgio Morandi Turley finds herself drawn to white on white still life's. She works from observation only using natural light, which helps her to make subtle differences of shade,meaning,
and expression which allows her to then create emissions of light in her work.(TURLEY)

My Response
Ann Truly excellent observational skills I believe really help to bring her works to life. Her use of
natural light really brings out the shadows and helps to express the dishes whilst, adding to each of
their characters. Its because of this her work is so successful, as it makes it easy for her audience to
see what it is she is trying to highlight in her work. Her work reminds me of Giorgio Morandi work
although this is not surprising giving his her inspiration. Her subtle change in white tones I feel is
what creates the emotion and meaning in her work, which in turn is why I find the work appealing
and interesting. I like this work, but if I were to do something simular piece of work, Id like to see
if I could get the shadows to display but using more white in them so their not as dark. I will use Ann
Turley work to inform my use of light so that its luminescent .

Leonardo da Vinci
The Virgin of the Rocks
Completion Date: c.1505
Place of Creation: Florence, Italy
Style: High Renaissance
Genre: Religious Painting
Technique: Oil
Material: panel
Dimensions: 189.5 x 120 cm
Gallery: National Gallery, London, UK,
(Vinci c.1505)
Leonardo da Vinci was the first to consider atmosphere to the point that he
constructed rules which were applied realistically by making very careful
measurements, which he later referred to as Aerial Perspective. He was
extremely intrigued by the effects atmosphere had on the colour of distant
objects. At one point Leonardo observed during the morning light the effects
of atmosphere on distant objects and he come to the understanding that the
further away the mountains the less distinctive they become and bluer they
got. Through his experimentation he realised that when painting objects so
that the difference between their distance can be note you would paint the
closest their true colour, and the further they reseed into the distance the
bluer they should get (Science 1997).

My Response
Leonardo da Vinci has created a great sense of depth in his painting of The
Virgin of the rocks by emulating the way the atmosphere causes distant
objects to present less recognizable and more bluish. It is because of this his
work is very successfully in conveying his idea of areal perspective to his
audience. His work reminds of a piece of work he did jointly with Verrocchio
a man he was once an apprentice to known as The Baptism of Christ, as
both use this idea of these less distinctive and bluish backgrounds. His work
creates emotion in me through its sense of harmony and I find it interesting
how he uses some of the colours he uses in the distance in his forground.
This is why I feel there is such harmony in the work. If I were to do a simular
work I would use his exact idea only creating his tones in charcoal so they
would appear whitish with the further away the objects the darker the tone of
white. I will use Leonardo da Vinci theory on Aerial Perspective to inform
my Landscape of Tooradin Gippsland Hwy

James Gleeson
Study for 'The arrival of implacable gifts'
1985, Drawing, charcoal on white wove Arches paper
56.8 x 76.5 cm sheet, Gleeson/O'Keefe Foundation (Gleeson 1985)
James Timothy Gleeson is an Australian Artist who was influence by Salvador Dali, Giorgio de
Chirico and Max Ernst, during his younger years. He later becomes interested in writing
written by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. These writing later become important knowledge;
which in some ways acted as a guidance for his art. His works focused on mythological or
religious subjects through his investigation of the subconscious, predominantly the collective
unconscious based on Jungs standards. He later shifted his ideas to more figurative perspective
of human perfection. As a result Gleeson psychedelic compositions arrived. These
compositions focused on the surrealist technique known as decalcomania in his backgrounds.
This focus created a way for him to add painted male nudes in the forground. He often
reflected his own homosexuality through his use of homoerotic undertones in his works, He
compositions lead to his interest in college, where he produced a large body of work
incorporating photos, magazines, diagrams, poetry, ink and many more. As the years past his
work cut out the human form which was then represented through the odd arm or eye in his
landscapes (Wikimedia Foundation 2014).

My Response
Gleeson is successful in his delivery of his idea as he focuses on the emotions of the human
i.e.. Wishing of a gift and places it in context by alluding us to the stormy sea so we can
connect the effects this gift my be creating in our lives by having the gift fall out the sky. When
I consider. this concept it really sparks my emotions and makes think a lot deeper about this
work. I find myself really interested because of the story it tells and in doing so I feel it drags
me in. He further drags me in through his use of tones and the way he uses them to add depth
in his work. Like with Leonardo da Vinci those things closet to us he has added a lot of detail
to and made them very clear. Whilst his details are not as clear the deeper into the work they
get. If I was to do a simular work Id like to be able to create this type of drama and
atmosphere in my work. I will use James Timothy Gleeson work to inform my Landscape of
Tooradin Gippsland Hwy in the hope to create a dramatic atmosphere that will capture the
heart of its viewers.

Ren Magritte, Belgian (1898 - 1967, Schaerbeek) Les valeurs
personnelles (Personal Values),
1952, oil on canvas, (80.01 cm x 100.01 cm) (Magritte 1952)
Rene Magritte brings to mind the incongruity and uncertainty hidden
within reality. He explores the joint relationship of his objects through his
way of describing them and by doing so all the usual concepts are no
longer lined to the objects. Magritte uses know objets and paints them
according to the proportions of the human form often creating confusion
and inconsistency, turning the world as we know it inside out, causing the
once familiar to become no longer familiar. (Art 1998-2014)

My Response
Rene Magritte is highly successful is creating monumental works because
of his contrast of scale and perspective. He uses small objects which he
juxtaposes next to objects which he has exaggerated their scale. In doing
so he creates a sense of depth which is crucial in brings this concept
across to his audience. His work reminds me of some of Picasso work in
the sense that it takes the ordinary day things and alters them in such a
way that they no longer appear normal to us. The work draws me in
through his choice of placement as often the placement is rather strange in
itself forcing me to consider the relationship surrounding the objects. This
tends to spark my interest. Whilst I wouldnt change a thing with
Magrittes work as I find it very appeling, I think I would try to adopt his
aproach, but I would not have the objects confind to a room. I will use
Magritte work to help in form my own work by using known objects.

Rosemarie Adcock The Arrival of Jonah at Ninevah
Date unknown, Oil on Canvas, 72" x 84"
(Adcock Unknown)
Rosemarie Adcock is an American artist currently
exploring a series of biblical and allegorical oil
paintings (Adcock Unknown), which is focused on
rich colours, lush garden settings and expressive
figures. The painting takes a look at the story of
Jonah and uses the bitten apples as a symbols of sin
and failure(Adcock Unknown).

My Response
Rosemarie Adcock is highly successful in her deliver
of a monumentalised objet through her bright rich
colours which really help to put life into her work.
Her giant enormous fish is well emphasised by the
small human placed in front of it making the fish
appear monumental. Her work reminds me of some of
the work Patrick Hunt has done as they both focus on
rich colours and timeless themes. Her timeless themes
and contemporary visions are what draws me to her
works as her mystical ways are so interesting and
inspiring. Its like she takes you to another world in
her stories. It is hard to know what I would change
with this work if I were to do a simular work, as the
work is just so inspiring and appeling to me. I guess I
would maybe attempt to capture the brilliance of her
colours in the same magical way in charcoal or
graphite if I were to do a simular work, rather than
changing something. I will use her work to inform my
work in this manner in my study of the Milestones.

Hi all I have finally gotten my preparation for the tonal collage done. I found doing the tonal swatches very easy. I used my Acrylic tonal scale which I painted during Painting Method to help
me mix my paints to create a nice variation between the shades. The gradual tonal A1 sheet proved to be a huge challenge for me. I found myself frustrated with the acrylic paint as it dries
to fast for me. I had attempted twice both times failing terribly. It was looking more like bands of colour in one of them and the other it just kept turning to mud. My third attempt although
far from perfect I am very happy with and I say a big thank you to Phillip for sharing his process with me. I still found my paint drying out on me but not as much and I found keeping a water
spray there to dampen the paint when it started to dry worked well. I certainly learned a lot with this one and feel like I accomplished it in the end. Best part I was able to move forward to
the next task. Thanks again Phillip. Cheers Gaylene Attachment: Project Two Ex 1 & 2 for DB.pptx (451.688 KB)

Hi Gaylene, The shades in your tonal scale are excellent and I feel show the perfect black to white range. I know what you mean about the A1 sheet. I had a go last night and was doing so
well until I got about half way across the paper. I have to do it again (after I get more paint). I also have to repeat a couple of the A2 sheets as they turned out to be not as opaque as I
thought. Lesson: paint them in good, even light. Well done; bet you're glad they're finished! Gayle.

Hi Gaylene, so interesting to see the different eye levels and how they affect your sketches. I really like the idea of seeing yourself drawing the image and then reflected back in the mirror
(3), you should one day work on this idea some more as I feel it would make an excellent finished piece. But I agree that no 2 is more suited to what we have been asked to do. You could
always take yourself further back in the image so that only your hair is seen perhaps, allowing more view of the interior. Good luck.
