For another experiment, I chose to work in acrylic paints on black paper. This is because I wanted to emulate the bold colours used in some of Bill Gold's posters and I wanted the images to have a painterly quality where the textures of the strokes could be seen. I also did one image in colours similar to the ones in the reference image of my subject matter and one in an achromatic colour scheme to try and create more tone and form. I used black paper rather than white to make the paint stand out more. These were then scanned into photoshop and the levels, brightness, contrast and saturation were altered to bring out the colours and tones more which resulted in more aesthetically pleasing images.
