Textures

 

This image which I took in formby pinewoods, I captured of the bark on a low angle to focus on the texture and layering of the tree. I thought the roughness of the bark was interesting so I decided to use different materials which would give my image texture and make it stand out. The picture below shows the sample I have produced from the idea of a messy rough texture to give similaraties of the tree and the warm colours.

 For the smaple I layered tissue paper to create creased edges and sharp lines. Once it was completely dry, I mixed orange and medium brown ink together to create a lighter brown. Parts of the tissue paper I ripped off giving the image more texture. I place the ink quickly over the tissue paper as it sunk in and around the paper, bringing the image forward. I can clearly see that the texture I produced represents the bark, as it is rough due to the texture and the layers make it stand out.
