Over the Easter holidays I set myself the task of designing and illustrating my own Easter Cards! I kept them quite simple, using oil pastel to create different coloured patterned eggs.

Even though this was only a rough idea in my ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ project, I’m pretty happy with the effect I ended up with! As you can hopefully see, I tried to create a figure (abstract as it is) behind the wallpaper. To do this I used the layering of oil pastel. I think this is something I can really develop and am quite happy with the idea!
The Yellow Wallpaper
Today I went through the story a number of times, highlighting interesting words and phrases about the story and started to play around with some different materials to see what sort of colours I can create. The photo below is an example of this. It feels good to get stuck into creating imagery as I worry that (like this case again almost) I get too involved with research to early! The image to the left is using chalk pastels and the right I experimented with layering of oil pastels.
