Found Texture Inspiration

Finding texture inspiration is easy, just look at the world around you, its full of different materials and interesting colours.

So I went on a trip round my town looking for things that I though may help me get a feel for the texture I really wanted to achieve, so I found netting, bark, metal rust, and cracking earth. All the images below have helped me construct the kind of texture I want, and I think the best one is the earth and the rust.

The earth has a softer texture which I think I like the most. So I take to a class mate who used fullers earth in her project last term and said it was really good for that effect that I want so next blog post will be to look into the effect it gives and how quickly I can do it, and also what paint looks like on to of it.

Below are some images found on pinterest that also helped with this theme I have in mind, it shows what just paint looks like on the skin.

I don't know what it is about these looks, but they just ooze beauty, artistic skills and I love the way its like they have painted outside of the box. That is how I will do my own work, look at it as if I am painting outside the lines, and creating a new beauty.
