Over the last few years, ‘Swan’ has released several different limited edition packets. These designs with strong aspects of British ‘Pop Art’ were a major influence on my practise.
So I used an A2 piece of canvas board, I sketched the outline of the swan and then began to paint the background.
The background I split into two colours (Yellow & Green), which I felt were the most prominent colours from the packaging.
The face and beak of the swan, I sketched onto a 6mm thick piece of foam board. This image I then cut out, painted red and black, which was then ready to fix to the canvas.
To get an idea of possible layering of the filter tips, I played about with how I might want it to look.
