Talking Colour/Pattern – Daniel Reynolds
Colour










I grew up in London which gave me an advantage as I knew exactly where to go when it came to the theme of colour and find my inspiration for it, Notting hill, where there’s a road of colourful houses, vintage clothing with vibrant patterns and the market full of multi-coloured exotic fruits and vegetables
I did the drawing of tube station logo twice because the first one I did I used some posca pens and one of them exploded whilst I was drawing that made this dripping effect and I thought to myself great I’ve ruined it I need to start a new one but then I salvaged it by adding more drips this made it more abstracts and reminded me of graffiti which you usually see on the tube all the time but I repeated in crayon again in a much more picture perfect way
When it came to my drawings I feel like I should have experimented a lot more instead of stuck to what I already knew. I should have used some different medias like paints, collaging, oil pastels instead of not taking risks and using what I know well like colouring pencils and crayons. So next time I want to explore that further. I also could have used different techniques to make my drawings more abstract than just what I see from the pictures. I could have done some mark making or drawn on coloured paper. For my next task I definitely want to let go a bit more and not worry about it looking perfect all the time
