Do now Task week 6 Thursday

Do now Task:

We were asked to make a Sgraffito styled painting, in saying that we were also asked to create an image that related back to our Kaupapa mine being environmentally based. I decided to used a cool blue with a little bit of white to get the perfect/more fitting colour for what I am going to draw. The base colour in this image being white as its the background colour and what the lines of the image is. As it was still wet I started to create an image that was a turtle with plastic wrapped around it. In saying that this task was a little difficult as the paint would dry quicker than I could draw. So there isn't too much detail with the painting alone but is the best I could do with this technique. I not going to lie its really hard to scratch an image as what I used was to blunt. I used the back of a paint brush as I thought it would work better compared to something sharp as that's dangerous. In saying that I am happy with how it turned out as its my first time doing the Sgraffito technique.
