Jack Reynolds Workshop

Today I had a workshop with former student Jack Reynolds, in which he showed us what  he had gotten up to since leaving uni. He told us that his unique style is what attracts commissions, as people want their idea portrayed in his unique method. 

In the workshop we were told to pick an article from a pile of newspapers, and then produce an illustration for the article. I picked out an article on the Amalfi Coast, as this is somewhere I have visited on holiday. I aimed to create a crowded and colourful image of the houses on the cliffs, to give a sense of how clustered it all is. Taking advice from Jack about how to use brighter colours to make work more exciting, I did exaggerate the colours of the buildings to make the whole scene brighter.

 This is the article that I picked to do an illustration for!

Here is my completed illustration in full!

My cropped version of the Positano buildings!

I did enjoy today's workshop, it was a lot of fun and I really liked the piece that I produced. It is a shame that is was not relevant to the direction of my project.
