Experimental portraits

For this I wanted to do something inspired by abstract art, I wanted to have a pact of colour and lots of different mark making, it does call for quite a busy piece but I really enjoyed doing these and I think this style will be contributed in my future work for this assignment, below are both pictures of my results:

I used a biro and water colours to use on both of these pieces, I felt it would give an interesting look and more bold piece. I think these portraits turned out well, I like the idea of the different mark making throughout these pieces and I feel this style can lead me to a lot of different features throughout my work, I want to continue with this style, as well as use different materials and media to create different work. I do believe I want to do some work inspired by different artists therefore that will be my next little exercise and I will be taking this style further in those pieces as well.
