This weekend, I finished up my piece. I put some finishing touches on the colored pencil drawings, and then focused mainly on the abstract portion. I did watch the video about how to use the alcohol ink during my curiosity page research, and it definitely is harder than the video makes it out to be. I luckily did find another hairdryer that wasn't so strong so I could actually move the ink around before it dried. I had a bit of issue with where the ink would wet a part of the page and if the hairdryer pushed it past there it made unorganic weird shapes that just looked weird. I also really wanted to try using this gold add-in but I found it to be really difficult to get to work the way I wanted it to. I'm glad I did try it again because I think it did produce a cool effect, and I think it works well in the triptych. When I was choosing which section to use, I thought it sort of mirrored how the veins in the leaf were angled, so I went with that section. The other struggle I had was the orientation of the pieces. I went with abstract to the eye to the leaf because I thought it balance the colors. However, in critiques people said it would be better where they were in the first image on the slideshow so it went from the black matte to the black in the leaf to the abstract with the eye looking towards the two.
