Here is my latest version of Eltham Palace bedroom. For this one I experimented with adding bright red to the black and white colour composition. Although it didn’t quite produce the desired eerie effect, it did give the image a more dramatic appearance.
For this piece I used a mixture of pencil, fineliner, drawing inks and acrylics, to enable the interior to include both fine detail and bold tonal elements.
My next steps for developing this image will be to recreate it using different colours and to varying degrees of abstraction, to decide which levels of abstraction and representation create the strongest sense of unreality before presenting it on a large scale.
