Visual Research Week 2

During this week I have been continuing with the idea of movement, focusing a little  more on linear drawings to capture the way water flows. I feel using linear marks have helped me see movement more clearly as it looks more literally as your eyes follow the marks.

I have continued to use these linear marks with colour and materials such as plastic, tin foil and masking tape to create textures under the surface. This technique I feel works well and this certain piece I feel almost looks heavy were all the texture is based at the base of the image.

I feel that within this piece the weight of the wave has been captured and would be even more emphasised with yarns such as contrasting heavy and light yarns.

It was suggested to me to use foiling instead of tinfoil as this would create a more pleasing look and less collage like. I am finding that it is indeed working nicer and am finding that is gives an unpredictable look. which is very suited, and works towards what I am trying to achieve as waves and water are very unpredictable and every changing.
