I chose to focus on images of boats and sweets to draw from, using the style and materials I worked with when sketching in Liverpool. To make interesting backgrounds I flicked watercolour paint onto the paper with a toothbrush, and added some pastel layers. Fine-liner pens made the subject bold and colourful; I aimed to create traditional drawings (representing the traditional theme of the docks) with candy colours (the Tate, sweet shops) to make new and interesting images.
I also experimented with paper weaving, mosaic and cut paper, in landscape and portrait formats. By arranging the finished drawings by colour, and then which looked best next to each other, I put together an irregularly shaped drawing collage.
