I started to create various surfaces and textures using various materials from Water Colours, Pencil and Wax Pastels
These three surfaces were created using Wax Pastels, i used a combination of colors to create a dirty and rugged effect ton the brick texture and then i scratched the shapes of bricks into the wax to get the shape of bricks into the wax, i think these turned out well and the orange surface was the one i based my final piece on.
Here are some other test surfaces that i created, with some of these i used water colours although i dont think that those turned out well
FOr the right on I drew the individual bricks using pencil and then tried water colour over it to create a good texture but i dont think that water colour can create the rugged texture of bricks like the Wax Pastels can.
These were more experiments with wax pastels although i used various colour schemes to find out which one would look the best in the setting that I chose.
I tried using scrunched up tissue paper to create a texture for a floor and i used water colour over that.
This is another lighter take on the bricks texture but i disliked the colour
These were more experiments with the water colour but in these i used them in a different way, i dried using a mic of colours to give the impression of differently wared bricks but i ended up not doing this as i don't think that it turned out well
These are the final samples of surfaces using the Wax although i used different techniques to try and create a different effect and texture,
