Cormac Smeeton

For the theme Shade/Shadow I created a fictitious book called ‘Urban Rose: A Life in the Shadows’.  I started by writing   the book description which then led me to drawing the fish, church and rose on my A01 sheet.  I wanted to make a book design that had an urban-street look about it, and this related to the story.

During the exam I produced a drawing based on work from my development ideas.  I created the drawing using many different layers of materials. I started off with a layer of watercolor paint; I then built up on the foundation by adding a new element - I used spray paint to give my piece life and tone (blue, green and silver colour). I then outlined the patterns and shapes with a black fine liner to give the patterns definition.  Once that task was completed I then moved onto shading bright bold colors inside the fishes and intricate shading for the door.  I then did the same for the patterns and the roses.  My piece contains vibrant colours in contrast to the bleak intricate shading of the door.
