Water Barbling! - Media Test.

I've been really missing doing 'traditional' art, particularly the kind of art you did in primary school, where you just got to make a mess! So I decided to do some water marbling, with special oil based inks. Even though I did this for fun, I also planned to some how implement these marblings in my project.
I had great fun creating these marble effects and can't wait till I have another opportunity to play around with them again. I particularly love how each time you dip the paper in, you will get a completely different image than before. It was also nice to play around with such bright colours as I commonly use mostly black and whites when working digitally.
I really love how they all turned out, each creating a psychedelic sort of feel. Something which I find very interesting. I also believe it would be near impossible, or just very time consuming to create images like this completely digitally.

After I had scanned the prints, I turned them into vectors in illustrator and had a wee play around with them, see what turned out. I played around with colours and text and came up with an array of designs, from the original water marbling. 

I decided to be brave and add quite a lot of colour to these designs, after some feed back on Behance. Suggesting to try and include more colour in the designs. Which I agree with and think these designs turned out great with the colour! I still keep the colour palette relatively muted though.
