My focus this year in Studio Arts was to develop artworks that portray my theme of the ethereal portrait. Ethereal meaning ‘extremely delicate and light in a way that seems not to be of this world’ referring to an otherworldly beauty. My intention was to portray the beauty of the female face but also explore unusual and unique features which contribute to the surreal concept of beauty. I applied elevated embellishments of stitchery and beading over my coloured tonal drawing which added a textural dimension to my final portrait.
