Runaway

   After taking a photo at the train station i noticed the rust on the roof which inspires this piece as i recreate the rust, but with stronger colours influenced by the butterfly in the photo. I began by scraping on orange and yellow paint in patches, letting them mix and mark the page. Then added black around the edges. The way the paint has interacted and marked the page really captures ther roughness of the roof from harsh weathers. Then i used charcoal to darken the rest of the page, smudging it out roughly so it looks dirty. It even darkened the bright orange and yellow colours, like how living a harsh life can dim a persons living flame inside.
   Inspired by the butterfly and train in the photo, i titled this pieces "Runaway" as many people pass through this train station in a day and just like using daydreaming as an escape, running away is another form of escape. It could even be a fantasy many people have who want to leave their job or home to travel.
   I like this piece very much with how it is and turned out. To develop it i could add more paint, for instance more black and build it up so it creates a bigger impact on the page. I would do this on a bigger scale so it could be larger so then more orange and yellow, maybe include red, could be mixed together. That way the viewer could see how the paint interacts and mix with the colours as the paint is uncontrollable in that matter therefore making each piece individual if repeated,
