Foundation Workings

Here's some early work that I completed in my Foundation Diploma at Maidstone UCA. I was very interested in mechanical objects at the time and got these car parts from a local scrap yard. I used the oil, grease and general "gunk" from within these objects to aid my charcoal still life drawings of them. In some cases I experimented with combining these materials with others like acrylic paint or the bronze substance in the picture immediately below which I found whilst rummaging through my dad's garage.
