Charlotte Ridley – “Talking Colour”
For this project I wanted to try multiple different art styles whilst simultaneously moving through the colour wheel. `My aim was to create a range of pieces from detailed ink drawings to abstract interpretations of shapes in order to represent a full variation of colour combinations. `It was challenging to reduce the amount of black/ darker toned overlays or outlines because those features are normally prominent in my work. However, through my exploration of the different extremes of the colour wheel, I was able to introduce coloured accents into the pieces, and experiment with alternative ink outlines to frame features, rather than just black. I found this use of detail successful and is something I will be able to incorporate into my pattern development (for example). I also found the process of recording my colour swatches to be very useful as I progressed. I always used to choose colours within a very limited range as I created pieces, but by colour swatching, I was able to match colours with more focus on specific tones and hues rather than just the default paint composition. And, I was able to achieve this through swatching each colour as I proceeded, as seen in some of my photos.

Firstly as soon as I saw your work I could clearly see that u developed your ideas and presented them professionally.I really liked the combination of colours and the design of the patterns ,especially the second image from the top .
The thick and thin lines and the dark outline and bright colours in the middle of the shapes are impeccable. From my point of view the framing process added layers and dimension to you work and I think you can developed them with using different materials and different techniques. I was also impressed by the details on your work, I think in the future you can combine two or three of your works in one drawing. Finally, it seems like you mixed different colours in order to come up with you own shades and even though some of the colours that you used are out of my comfort zone you really showed me how you can use them in different ways. Overall I found your work very interesting and engaging.
