Back to Basics!

I decided to recreate one of the images of hair that I had photoshopped by using the methods I thought was the most effective in achieving movement of hair. This was the method of using masking tape and paint etc. This time I thought about how I could best achieve this, then I began thinking of the method of batiq, where you block out the colours you want to keep with wax. I realised this could work for me! I began with a sheet of white card and blocked up all the bits I wanted to keep white with strips of masking tape. Then I painted it all blue and again cover up everything i wanted to keep blue with strips of masking tape. Finally I painted it all black and waited for it to dry and then peeled all the masking tape off. I really enjoyed this and I think I will try it again and further develop it
