These drawing are on a larger scale, A4, I know that I am using the same colours of deep blues and blacks but I have a reason due to the actually instrument, I have been using youtube to listen to the sounds of these instruments. With each one I am listening to I am translating a sound into a colour somewhat like a Synesthestic process. When I listened heres what instrument I came up with from my notes....
percussion - deep reds - a bold colour which strikes warning. loud.
trumpets - yellow - lively colour for a lively sound
guitar - rainbow colour range
cello - dark blues - sombre slow sounding instruments
violin - baby blue - light high pitched sound
oboe - greens - fresh sound in higher notes and and calm sounds when lower notes are playes
flute - light powder pink - a dainty sound
the method of applying the ink is using the edge of credit cards and this is always like a struggle whilst I am drawing with it because of the restriction of being able to draw a curved lines so making quick brush marks and rotating the card layering inks give me that option create a curved line. However there is one thing I can't work out though, I don't know whether it is the scale which is too small. Or I am making my drawings too complicated for the method. However I really like this illustration of the cello playe, layering of ink to create tone so then it doesn't look flat. I like the abstration of the figure in it, it kind of contradict everything I was taught from life drawing but that is the beauty of abstraction you have the ability to warp and 'adjust' features to make them work for you.
Music is composed of layers of sound so I took this aspect and moved it on into my work....
I like this composition however I have not really considered colour. So I am going to create separate layers of tracing paper then copy them on to asesthate. From this point I can jiggle the layers about and when I have found a composition that I like scan them backinto the computer for print.
