Exercise (1) Experimenting. Project 2. (Physical and Visual Texture.)


                     

Some tree bark in graphite pencil. 
I don't this looks much like bark.
Had a go at some velvet also in pencil. don't think I managed to get the shiny quality to it but it does look a little like material.
The tin foil I did in pencil, watercolour, pen and a few blobs of white acrylic paint for the highlights. I don't like this drawing much, either
 
The fur looks a bit like fur, not sure how much like the fur I was drawing.

I hope I managed to make the textures different from each other, I mean in the way I treated the lines and the marks I made.   

I would like to have tried some more different mediums, but I fear I am behind my work and must get faster...


Some Frottage.
This is a coat of arms carved on wood by my Grandfather. 

Done with a stick of red chalk.
(Funnily enough the chalk also belonged to my Grandfather...)
Done with a stick of charcoal. 
And this is in graphite stick. 
(this last one, I think, came out the best.)


An old wire fire fender.

Rubbed over with graphite stick.
Rubbed over with graphite again, and then set at a different angle and rubbed again, and so on...about five times. I think it creates quite an interesting pattern.


Frottage of the centre of a log.

In graphite stick.


Leather.

graphite stick.
 Compressed charcoal.
Compressed charcoal, rubbing in in lots of different as directions...as opposed to the one above which was done in a few quick uniform lines.
