For my next experiment, I aim to create images in the same style as Bec Wonders who paints on top of photographs to make them look more abstract, adding a deeper meaning to the composition. She has painted on both monochromatic and coloured photographs which adds more aesthetic value and creates more interest within the composition.
I find Wonders' images more interesting than some photographers' work as there is a nice contrast between the detail in the photograph and the painterly brush strokes of the painting. The brush marks blend into each other to create more tone which adds an artistic and personal feel as well as drawing attention to that part of the image.
In my experiment, I plan to paint colour onto the monochromatic photos and greys and whites onto the colour images. This will create contrast and allow me to be more creative and experimental with what I can put into the images to symbolise gender as well as challenge the perception of gender symbolically.
