I explored which media I was going to use further by developing one of the pieces and splitting it into sections: biro, pencil and chalk and charcoal. I also created a section focussing on lace/knickers and make up, and pray-painted through some of the lace to create and interesting background, and layered up a feminine collage. I really liked the contrast of colourful ‘pretty’ lace, against a serious image and decided that I would use this in my final piece.
My final piece was completed in the full ten hours given. I created two A3 portrait pieces in a similar way, questioning the personality of each of the two characters.

I did this to emphasise that it was an image of Eve and to portray an idea of purity and innocence. Contrasting to the delicate pose of Eve, I included the word ‘SLUT!’ at the bottom of the
