For this exercise I chose to use a postcard and an image cut from a magazine from my collection of images. The postcard is of the side of a boat on a beach with the sea and sky in the background. This image lent itself really well to analysing the colours in it as they were clearly defined n stripes. This was one of the reasons I chose this image so that I could easily pick out the colours to paint and then to wrap the threads. As I began to look closely at the postcard I began to see more subtle colours such as there is a light grey in the cream paint on the boat which at first glance is not noticed. I think this worked really well especially the thread wrapping. The thread wrapping made me see colour combinations that I would not normally have liked or used. If I had been asked to do a piece of work in the colours on the postcard I would not have liked to have used them but see the threads together has made me look at it differently so that when looking for inspiration I should not discard an image straight away.
The second image I used was a cutting from a magazine of a picture of the sea. I chose this as it was so different from the postcard in that the colours in the image are not as clear cut to look at and there is much more texture. I enjoyed analysing this image. There are so many different hues and shades of each colour. As the picture shows different textures I think I have shown this in the yarn wrapping.
I enjoyed doing this and shall take this into my sketchbook work.
