After the Lewis Noble workshop, I was inspired by him to create texture in my paintings using a palette knife. I made the image more realistic because that is the way that painting comes naturally to me, although I still feel as though it is reminiscent of Lewis Noble's work because of the texture. To make the painting fit in with the Trash to Treasure theme, I created the background with a range of found papers from the college, but I think that the paint covers the collage too much so it loses the meaning of Trash to Treasure.
This is the second Rob Wilson inspired piece that I have done and I much prefer the first, smaller sample I did in this style. I didn't really enjoy creating this as I found it quite boring and tedious, I think that it could have done with a bit more colour and maybe some acrylic paint like in my first Rob Wilson sample. I created a collage for this one first, unlike the first one, and I think that it shows the theme of Trash to Treasure better. I was inspired by Rob Wilson to use stitch on a collaged and inked background as I thought it worked really well in his pictures, but it turned out to not quite work for me.
The first sample that I did inspired by Philip Bannister was only small, so I decided to revisit it since I didn't particularly like the Rob Wilson or the Lewis Noble inspired pieces. I am glad that I did because I really like this technique as it is a quick and easy technique that is effective. I added the collage this time round and I think it looks much better. This technique, I feel, is the most effective because the collage is visible in the background which portrays the theme of Trash to Treasure much more effectively.
In conclusion, I will use the Philip Bannister inspired style because it leaves the background collage visible so it doesn't hide the theme like the other styles, and it is because of this that it is my favourite style out of them so this is the style that I will continue.
