First Practical - Aquacolor

In our first practical for this project we were using Aquacolor to see how we could paint the face in an abstract way, using the lines and contours of the face to inspire our brush strokes. Because aquacolor drys very quickly you have to make bold moves and can't really blend so you have to use block colours, lines and patterns. This was what i came up with -

At first i found it tricky making the bold moves to just get some colour down but once i started i tried to use the shapes of the face, shadow areas and highlighted areas to create an abstract asymmetric look.
