Weekly Affair - Week 10

Paul Nuttall - Named new UKIP leader
A slight change of subject matter for this weeks affair - UK politics!? I'm getting a bit bored of being recognised as the girl that paints Donald Trump so I decided to shake it up a bit this week. Due to the disaster of last weeks digital attempt, I've returned to my old friend gouache. I really don't think I could work any other way now, it always creates the outcome I'm anticipating and now I'm getting faster at it time management for this media really isn't an issue.  


APPLICATION! Finally I have applied my work to some context! Although I doubt the BBC would be interested in my work due to it's nature, I applied my work to the article where I sourced my information. From my feedback, the question of how my work sits in digital format was brought up, but I don't think it looks too out of place? I think the texture of the paint and paper adds more character to the illustration, whereas digital can be a bit flat and lifeless. 

For next week's affair, I think I should try and illustrate something that doesn't link to politics for once! I need to explore my subject matter in greater depth instead of pigeon holing myself which I know I keep saying and don't do anything about it but I will next week!!!
