Eugene Delacroix was a French romantic artist.
Delacroix was born the 26^th of April 1798 and died the 13^th of August 1863.
He was from Charenton-Saint-Maurice in Ile-de-France, near Paris.
Delacroix's use of expressive brushstrokes and his study of the optical effects of colour profoundly shaped the work of the Impressionists.
Delacroix’s drawings are filled with so much detail and great range of colours.
This is a study drawing of flowers, the tone and colour in this paintings is very simple but still a great drawing, very realistic and the line in this paintings is soft and smooth almost invisible to see in some areas.
The shading varies from light to dark in some areas such as under the leaves, it is a darker shade as the top.
Materials used for this drawing was a pencil, watercolour a brush and paper.
I like this study of flowers it is simple but detailed, very smooth not too harsh or it isn’t just one dark line everywhere, it varies from tone, light to dark where you use the pencil right.
This work reminds me of Vincent Van Gogh’s flower drawing.
The colour used in this drawing is very similar to the colours Van Gogh has used in his flower drawing.
I have drawn a group of flowers (lilys) that is kind of similar to Delacroix’s study, like the line and shades, light and dark, but I believe I should have added more shading to my flower drawing. 

Mono print

For the mono print, it was a simple technique. The materials used follows as; Sheets of paper, Roller & Ink.

Started by choosing my design by cutting out shapes from the pieces of paper I had, next spreading ink across the sheets of A3 to create a layer on top which then I used the shapes which were cut out to create a pattern on the exterior of the ink by laying it on top. Afterwards I got a blank sheet laid it on top of the ink & used the roller to press the sheet down to leave a pattern I’ve created, which the outcome was many different shapes & that was the final piece.

Harry Bertoia & Orna Feinstein have used mono print in their work, I had no doubts about myself finalising my piece, as it was most of all fun and involved lots of creativity.

                                                          

Stencil

With the stencil piece I did I got a copy of a stencil, with the same technique used in mono printing, except with sheets of paper, ink & the stencil alone, I placed the stencil on of the ink to create a template which all I needed to do next is roll a blank paper on top for the stencil to duplicate the image which is on the stencil. I found this piece particularly fun as I was able to duplicate an original art from a stencil provided.

Banksy uses this type of technique in his art.

Styrofoam

This technique was exciting, to start off I had a piece of Styrofoam which I used a pencil to mainly mould a design/pattern onto it but just before cutting forward I did plann for the design, which the design was sketched out on a blank paper before carving it into the Styrofoam. Similar technique to linoprint, I spread the ink across the Styrofoam piece & to imprint the design onto a blank page. The design is similar to a stamp.

A Malaysian artist called Cheeming Boey uses this method.

Lino Print

To start off this piece required a lot of attention, from chiselling out the linen to create a pattern or design. Required a lot of force as compared to the other prints such as mono print & stencil, this technique requires focus but however it uses the same materials used in mono printing & stencils which is ink. Same method with ink, except I spread the ink across the lino print ive created & lay it on a blank sheet to duplicate the design onwards.

I found this type of art/technique competitive as patience was needed & it devours time.

Pablo Picasso uses this technique.
