2D outcome - exercises

The presented works are my exercises for my major project, which helped me to improve my work and decide on the style of the outcomes. 

Creating this piece, I used watercolours as I had left all of my tools at university. I have tested many techniques and thought about the composition of my work. Also, I have used a sepia pastel to check the best use of them in my outcome, although at this time, charcoal seemed a better option. I used a high amount of paint to receive a deep tone of black and richer tones colours as it has been placed on the art board. 

 Creating this piece, I was mostly inspired by Francis Bacon. I used some of the techniques that he used in his works, and I have tried to create a work based on the techniques and style presented in Screaming Pope. 

Thinking about the project, I have changed the idea and improved my work by adding unusual shapes and changing the original works. In this exercise, I have tried to make a work where Stanczyk's head becomes massive and purple. In this work, I have tried to make it more depressive than the original. Although, I failed and finally got rid of this idea in my final outcome. In creating this painting, I used a different colour pallet of warm. I used sandpaper to make the painting more interesting and messy. However, I decided to change the concept for the final outcome as the painting seems like it needs to be better.
