It dawned on me at this point that I hadn’t taken before or after pictures of any of my previous pieces, and that I hadn’t really taken that much interest in them (either in the choosing or the doing) and that I wasn’t giving a fair overview of the lab and the experiments if I didn’t do that. I also thought that as I was being so unsuccessful with darker images, I’d steer clear of black and grey (unless it was typeface,) so that was that. This image was one of my favourites before the gesso. And I tried to layer the gesso as I wanted to in order to keep the gold colour of the leaves, but blot out the woman underneath. It didn’t really work, but I think that it would work as a background if the collage was placed more so over the woman’s face, and further and if different shades of gold leaves were collaged at the top of the piece. Interestingly, my daughter asked me if I had drawn this piece, (yeah, like I could!) so it must look pencilled or painted to a certain extent – I personally do not see it as such, but a different point of view is always interesting. It is all down to interpretation I guess.

I think the lighting seemed to mute everything a bit. There isn't muck reflection, shadow or contrast.
This is another example of Diffused Lighting because the shade makes the subject appear softer, even though the actual light is very harsh.
This is diffuse lighting because the object does not cast a shadow and there is a light source, but you do not know what direction it is coming from.
