Painting wall panels


Hello!! 

(Did you miss me?!)

It has been an extremely busy year for me! Getting my work finished for degree show, then starting a new job... and subsequently deciding to return back to Duncan of Jordanstone to do my Masters in Fine Art starting September 2016! 

I have been terrible at updating my blog, because of this I have so many photos of my degree show work throughout the year, these photos are urging to been seen so I am going to be uploading them in somewhat of a chronological order first, then I shall explain what I've been up to since degree show! 


Painted mannequin in front of wall panels.


I fully primed the MDF boards with a white primer.



Above you can see right at the bottom of the picture my little steps as the panels were too tall for me to paint standing. 


I free hand painted the entire boards using acrylic paints to achieve the vibrancy I desired. 

Positioning part of a sculpture in front of the painted panel to see the contrast. 
I used a much larger pattern for the walls using less intricate detail than I put into the sculptures, in order to create different focal points for the eyes. 


Here you can see the almost finished wall panels, but fully white floor panels, I chose to wait until the week we had to install our work to paint the floor (which was a lot of added pressure). I chose to do this because I wanted to lay down the floor first, and then paint the pattern directly onto the floor to create an even larger pattern. 


This was when I was given access to my degree show space and first leaned my panels up against the walls, I was starting to see how my vision was coming together... and how much work I still had to do! 


I will be updating again soon as I have many more photos to share!! :)
