Frottage:- the technique or process of taking a rubbing from an uneven surface to form the basis of a work of art.
This is a technique I have not used much. I created a textural background to begin my work using cardboard, string an tin foil. I like text in abstract images so I found some old letter templates from school.
Using the same Autumnal colours of yellow, orange and black I started to create some shapes rubbing over the items. I moved the paper around layering colours over each other.
As the work progressed, I started to look at developing the composition adding additional text and rubbings from the sring. I thought this was going to be a butterfly but it feels like shells on the beach.
