In my “Talking Colour” task, I explored various aspects of London by visiting museums, art galleries, and local parks while capturing interesting patterns around the stations. This experience allowed me to delve into different media, including acrylics, watercolours, coloured pencils, markers, graphite, and oil pastels. This was particularly challenging for me since I typically focus on pencil and FineLine pen work, and I often struggle with selecting colours. Through this task, I discovered that I excel at detailed drawings rather than abstract or quick sketches. I realised that I often overthink my approach, concentrating too much on the final outcome instead of enjoying the creative process itself. This insight has been invaluable, helping me to recognise the importance of being present in the moment while creating art. 

For my observational drawings, I chose colours that were naturally present in the scenes I captured, reflecting my observation accurately. I carefully selected each technique based on how well it complemented the subject matter I was drawing, which resulted in a cohesive body of work. Looking ahead to my upcoming task, “Talking Patterns”, I aim to deepen my understanding of colour selection and technique to achieve the best results. I plan to incorporate my emotions and feelings while observing the scenes, rather than relying solely on what I see. This approach will not only make my work more interesting but also enhance its creativity, allowing me to connect more deeply with the art I create. By embracing both technique and emotion, I hope to produce more expressive and impactful pieces in the future.
