Reality Is Random

This blog will be about the things I have done for the reality is random brief so far. First I got a piece of A4 paper and got a couple of newspapers and magazines. I began to rip out random pictures and stuck them on the A4 paper to create a collage of random things. This is shown below.

The bit that I used to paint is the things inside the white box. The paint I used was acrylic. I used a mix of colours and used a size 6 brush to paint the large areas and a size 2 brush to get fine lines in the finished painting. I liked using this method of painting as the finished piece come out very well.

Next I used the same area to paint but i used poster paint this time. I didn't like using this paint as it was very runny and I was very limited with the colours. I didn't paint the whole thing because i wanted to move on to the next method of painting.

The next method I used was oil paint on a canvas. First I cut a piece of canvas and stretched it across a wooden frame. I keep it in place by using staples. I then drew a picture on the stretched canvas of a eye on a metal background, then i got a small white board to put the oil paints on. To mix the oil paints I used a pallet knife. I like using this method but it is very messy to use.
