WEEK 5:

• testing different (sheer) fabric

To consider: adding depth to the layers by using PVA glue to ‘solidify’ the fabric layer – may create a sense of movement in the painting >> instability look at a post “Experiments” from Summer Project for reference (photographic)

>> plan to go bigger? + oil painting + watercolour board to absorb the paint more efficiently? or use the same grey cardboard but with a layer of gesso (as base)idea for display: similar to demonstration banners – demonstration/protest/exposing of own feelings/ emotional instability – in reference to various mental disorders – performative use?[consider display + using the fabric layer as a ‘sculpture’]

WEEK 6:
larger scale >> test out different primer options when using a grey board: acrylic paint vs. pva glue vs. acrylic paint+ pva glue mixed >> oil paint opposed to oil pastels as they are more effective in a way of depicting the idea of translation; blending, textures etc. >> layering two fabrics (tulle and polyester)
