A Wild Night at the Canterbury Museum

A Wild Night at the  Canterbury Museum

I did this painting because I am interested in the museum and what it would look like in a painting. How I did this was by mixing the paint together to make the type of colour I needed. I used a palette knife to make the wild night sky.

Host a Brooch

Host a Brooch  The Host a Brooch project was in the Fan Zone. It was a fascinating and fun activity using brooches made from earthquake rubble to lead participants around the city.

The medium is Fairtrade Coffee.

Jackson's Shadow Breaker III

Neil Frazer's painting  Shadow Breaker II                                                 Jackson's painting Shadow Breaker III

This work was painted after being inspired by Neil Frazer's painting during our trip to see The Real Art Roadshow Silver Truck in July.

Why I wanted to paint this.

Because in the Roadshow I spotted the picture by Neil Frazer, it was real interesting and was my favourite.

I like the colours and effect of the paint. It inspired me, so when I got back to school I decided to have ago using his techniques. 

I put the paint straight on the canvas and mixed and made textures using a palette knife and brush. I tore out shapes of paper to mask out areas that were white, then peeled them off after I had finished painting.

I really like that way of working and am going to paint a series using my own photos and drawings.

In particular I want to paint the Cathedral and other places in Christchurch.
