Final outcomes Exhibited
I have presented my outcomes on three canvas that have been placed in the middle of the room. I think the order that i have chosen is really successful and works well together. Being that i chose to present all 3 means that it is much more eye catching and interesting to look at. I am really happy with the way that the outcomes have turned out and with the overall presentation of the outcomes.

Changes
After reflecting on the elements i wasn't sure about i figured out that it was because there was too many colours and elements on the piece. what i decided to do was too take a lot of the string off especially the ones that were brighter such as the yellow and the greens, this defiantly makes the pieces not look too over powering like they were before.
I think the most improved is outcome 3 of my sister i realised i had put too much on the hair and therefore made the piece uncomfortably busy. So i decided to gradually take elements off making sure to step back and see if i took to much off or too little. If i had taken too much off in a certain area i would instead add back string of a darker colour like blue and purple therefore from a distance it isn't too much but closer you can still see the textures.
With the other ones i only had to take one yellow string off to really make a difference to the piece and instead replace it with a string that is blue or purple.
I am now happy with these outcomes and consider theses final pieces finished to the best of my ability.
final outcome 3 (final layer 7)
With the final layer i added the more textured elements such as the string, cord and rolled paper. Influenced by the small experiments on how i can develop the hair i decided to paint the string multi colours, such as the reds, blues, purples, greens, oranges and yellows that i had influenced within the background.
With this piece and the other piece i felt like the string works different due to these pieces having black hair rather then brown. I don’t think its a bad thing, but it does make it look slightly different to me compared to the first outcome. Because of this i think i might find myself taking elements of the string off as i look at it each day. I already have found myself doing this especially with the brighter colours.
Before:
Im going to remove/ replace some of the brighter string such as the yellow that doesn't really work with other colours such as red, purple and blues.
I’ll post the updates.

Before:
The problem i am having with it is the bright yellow so i might change the colour of the string not sure yet, i will have to think it over. This is the same issue i’m having with the 3rd outcome.
Ill update the blog with my decision.
Final outcome 1 (Final layer 7)
With the final layer i added the more textured elements such as the string, cord and rolled paper. Influenced by the small experiments on how i can develop the hair i decided to paint the string multi colours, such as the reds, blues, purples, greens, oranges and yellows that i had influenced within the background.
With this piece i think the bright colours of string and paper really adds to the piece as it ties in the background into the hair it also makes the hair more special something that i really wanted to achieve. It brings the portrait out from the background. I think it also reflects the style in which Chris Ofili works with the idea of there being a lot going on within the canvas; some could say too much, but when you look at it section by section you begin to appreciate the whole piece.
Further overall evaluation within journal.
Final outcome 3 (layer 5 and 6)
With the 5th layer i focused on the hair. This included adding more drops of wax into the hair, however his time i added more flat rather then textures elements of wax, this meant that you can still noticed the textured element of wax i applied in earlier layers. After applying the paint i painted ontop of the wax bumps i had created in multiple colours, the reason i did this is because i think it brings in the coloured elements of the back ground and makes the hair stand out more.
I then did another layer of wax to somewhat keep the acrylic paint ontop of the wax in place, aswell as make it glossier as it stood out due to it drying more matte. I found when applying the varnish that it started to rub the paint off in places, however i kind of liked the way it did this as it sort of broken up the colours in a way. I found that this happened on all the outcomes.
After this layer i finished the clothing such as the jumper and coat, in the last large scale test i stop here with layering the varnish, however when painting these final outcomes i realised that i would prefer a non matte looking jacket as i felt like it actually drew your eyes away from the important element which was the hair. There fore i decided to paint over it again in a final layer of varnish. I am much more happy with the way this looks.

Final Outcome 3 (layer 4)
With this layer i focused on putting the first layer of hair on the piece focusing on getting the tones on and then building it up on the next layer.
Final Outcome 2 (layer 4)
With this layer i focused on putting the first layer of hair on the piece focusing on getting the tones on and then building it up on the next layer.
Final Outcome 1 (layer 4)
With this layer i focused on putting the first layer of hair on the piece focusing on getting the tones on and then building it up on the next layer.
Final Outcome 1, 2 and 3 (Layer 3)
With this layer i applied the tissue paper to parts of the background, this worked well in adding colour and depth/ texture to the background. To include more of the tribal marks element i include the patterns into the tissue paper using bleach. This was more successful then the previous attempts at using the bleach i think this is because i applied the bleach whilst it was fully dry. I also included more glitter into these pieces, different colours of glitter. This element was successful and adds more elements to the piece i think i might add more glitter on the next couple of layers not sure yet though.
The thing that is different then the last large scale experiment is that i included element of the wax dots to the underlayer before i’ve painted the hair, this is something i didn't do last time but was something i did with previous experiments.

Final outcome 3 (2nd Layer)
For this layer i followed the same style as i did on the other second layers just switching up on the colours i applied and didn’t apply aswell as the placement of the emulsion prints.
I am to bring colour back into the piece with tissue paper as its more subtle then the use of paint.
Final outcome 2 (2nd Layer)
For this layer i emulsion printed photos into the background, applied acrylic paint using a palette knife and worked into the background with elements of using patterns inspired by tribal prints.
Im really happy with the way this layer came out as i was worried whether the colours i added on top would actually work well, but it does and i think it has successfully added to the background with out taking your eyes away from the face and the hair.
I have also added different textured rope, string and cord to the hair in more curled shapes similar to the second layer of the first final outcome. This element will be interesting to paint over.
Final outcome 1 ( layer 2)
For this layer i included emulsion prints, acrylic paint applied with palette knife and brush, aswell as adding elements of string, cord and rope to parts of the hair to create texture.
Unlike the other experiments i have done i decided to include parts of tribal patterns in the background as i think it will be interesting to build up the layers with this element of pattern.
Final Outcome 3 (layer 1)
With this outcome i found it easier to place down the basic area of tones then i did on the last one, But the problem i found was that the picture i was using as a reference didn't have that much detail on as it was a photo that was taken further away therefore i couldn't capture the detailed colours and marks on the face. This ment that it was harder to make the areas blend together and look as smooth as possible.
After working on it for a couple of days i decided that due to time its better to get it to a place i’m okay with and move onto the next layers and make the changers if i need to.
