I decided to try out liquid photography after being inspired by Martin Waugh's work, heres a link- http://www.liquidsculpture.com/fine_art/index.htm I plan on trying this again when get a tripod for my camera and figure out a better setup I used watered down acrylic paint to create the colours The first two didnt really turn out as clear as I wanted and I didnt like the angle  I think these two came out really well. I adjusted the shutter speed to capture the drips and increased the aperture setting to let more light into the camera   This was just a quick experiment using ink   

Today me and the class took a trip to Hainning House in Selkirk. We did some observational drawings and took some photos. Here are some of the photographs I took Here are some of my observational drawings

Freddie Mercury Portrait Acrylic on canvas I did this painting about a month ago, im trying to get better at painting portraits

Trying out photography   I thought this wall looked interesting with the barbed wire wrapped around it.     I was trying to get a lense flare from the sun and I wanted to include the fence to create distance and restraint   Here is the same scene but I pressed the shutter really fast so that the camera didnt focus which allowed me to create a blurred photo   i thought the sun shining through some trees would create a nice photograph   same again but from a different angle   I thought this street lamp had an interesting shape when I looked directly up at it   playing around with the shadow of the lamp   here I zoomed in on some tree barked
