Ive been looking at how rain falls and the direction in which it does so, so, I created some mark making that relate to falling rain and its direction. Using ink and a dryish brush and also the ends of string.
I can now manipulate these in photoshop using 'define brush pattern' to create separate layers with them, or I could layer them onto of another background.
Whilst it was icy, wintery weather, I took the opportunity to take some photos of ice on a pond. i really like the contrast caught in these photos and will start to draw focusing contrast.
The patterns left on ice are due to wind direction, this has reminded me of at a piece of art i looked at for research.
This is a piece of photographic paper that was left outside during a lightning storm and left to expose in that storm. the mark made are totally organic much like the pattern found in ice.
Art like this is so interesting to me - that fact that you can have so little control over how something may turn out. This has lead me onto wanting to experiment with fluid painting. I have tried before with watercolour, however this has failed because my paper was to thin and watercolour is not a thick enough media.
I have researched this though and shall experiment with acrylics and thicker card. The result is similar to properties I see in the clouds and the sea when they are a bit roughed up by the wind.
