Forgotten Memory..

So blogging has been wayyyy put off in the last few months!!! We have both had such a hectic year at art school, I have just finished 2nd year and Flora has just finished her 1st year! In between we also spent 6 weeks in Thailand so I will eventually get onto posting some pictures from that too.. But first here is a shoot we did with our lovely art school buddies Kelex and Connor back in November with Flora and myself as the models. We did the shoot in St Andrews, Scotland and it was honestly the coldest and dampest day of my life! However, the talented photographers made the pictures look awesome!

My Portraitures

 This is my Thai Grandmother and I miss her dearly..I showed her this over Skype one day and she asked me why I gave her so many wrinkles! haha but I was purely trying to draw a true definition of her with chalk pastels. I did this using a photograph I took of her whilst we were at the market in Thailand.

 So this is Flora, I made her noise slightly too pointy and her face too chubby but it is all part of the learning curve.

 This is my best friend Verity, pretty happy with the results but I think I should've done more on her hair?! Overall, chalk pastels is probably my favourite material to use with my artwork, I love the blending of colours it enables you to work with!

These are my colour block faces that I did with paint. It is a very different style to the portraits above and I think these are quite playful and fun. The one on the left is of myself, and the right was taken from my boyfriend and I at prom! I think I was quite successful in using blocks of colour to produce a recognisable image of the face! All of these portraits were part of my portfolio that I submitted for art school application.

We are taking an art trip to London next month with my art school which I am soo excited about and will get the opportunity to visit exhibitions such as Damien Hirst, Lucien Freud and Yayoi Kusama amongst others. There is also a Christian Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum in London where you can see his designs, the design process and how the shoes are made!

Thanks for reading!
