Module 1 - Chapter 4

Black and white shapes cut from 4 inch squares of paper folded in a variety of ways as shown. This was great fun and brought back lots of memories of cutting snowflakes and paper chains. Black against white always gives a lovely strong image and contrast. I really like the simple shapes and also enjoyed the asymmetry.

Shapes made up of 3 layers of coloured paper cut to about 4 inches square. The painted papers have all taken the paint slightly differently so the same colour paint appears to be quite different on the different papers.

Asymmetrical shapes cut from coloured paper. My favourite papers are the ones cut from crumpled and painted brown paper bags and I also love the effect you get when wax is added ( bottom right ).

Module 1 cont

Crosses cut and torn from purple paper attached to A3 sheet of gold/yellow paper. I like the effect you get when tearing rather than cutting!

Module 1

A variety of papers including brown paper, newspaper, tissue, cartridge and water colour paper. All painted with Brusho inks.
Different papers took the colour very differently. The crinkled up brown paper and paper that had cling film on the top whilst drying were particularly effective.
