A9: UNIT 3:Personal Investigation Pen, ink wash: My pieces consist of three drawings of various alleyways; drawn out with biro and diluted ink of photos which I had taken around London, on cartridge paper. My investigation evolved around mood, lighting and atmosphere, and I wanted this piece to have all these factors wrapped within it. Alleyways are usually deserted and not used in comparison to a normal pavement, as most of them are the back exits of flats and such. Due to the lack of usage they are rarely cleaned and look filthy and grim. In particular there are usually lampposts stemming off the walls which aren’t necessarily used anymore, which makes it seem like it was left from long ago, a remainder of the olden days when it was used to illuminate the back street alleyway. Developing from here I would probably look into incooperating colour into similar studies, developed from these, to help create a mood for the piece and paint digitally. Alongside I would also develop this personal study by linking it to my fears of shadows as a child, which would also include all the previous factors altogether at a slightly different aspect from this.
