I used red gingham fabric, and used my own design. I don’t tend to follow any pattern when I’m making clothing. I prefer to use a method of trial and error. This garment is high waisted, with a bubble shape over the hips and then a tighter band that rests on the thighs. It looks good with a fitted top like I have modelled in the photograph. There is a zip on the back.  Clothes 2008-04-24T08:51:01+00:00 http://www.lucyblackmore.co.uk/index.php/site/friends/ http://www.lucyblackmore.co.uk/index.php/site/friends/#When:19:54:00Z This is an oil painting in a photorealistic style. It is an image of my friends sat on the edge of a boat over-looking the sea in Majorca. It personally holds great memories, which I have represented using the bold bright colours. I particularly like the shadows cast by the figures.

I used just black and white paint to create this investigative piece into the way light is reflected onto glasses differently depending on their shape and size.

I wanted the keep the background plain, in order for the main focus to be the dog and the natural black and white colours to be emphasised.

I kept the background white, to keep the focus on the dogs. I enjoyed creating the texture of the dogs fur. The natural shapes the paint brush created meant I had to do very little to emphasize the texture.

I used a hard pencil, and tried to keep it a line drawing with little smudging. I think it has a very good similarity, and really shows their personalities.

It is a silhouette of a women laid on her back. I used glitter, sequins and sewed some beading onto the canvas to create an extra glamourous effect. Against the red background I think this piece is striking.

I feel it really captures his character. I enjoyed using such a variety of autumnal shades.  Art, Animals, Oil 2008-03-08T12:53:00+00:00 http://www.lucyblackmore.co.uk/index.php/site/gokart/ http://www.lucyblackmore.co.uk/index.php/site/gokart/#When:12:51:00Z This is a painting of my brother in his Go-kart. It is painted in oils, on a small canvas. I wanted to keep a ‘smudged’ appearance in an attempt to recreate the speed of the Kart.  Art, Oil 2008-03-08T12:51:00+00:00 http://www.lucyblackmore.co.uk/index.php/site/white_lilly/ http://www.lucyblackmore.co.uk/index.php/site/white_lilly/#When:15:28:00Z This is another image of a lilly painted in oils on canvas. I like the pure white of this picture with the natural hint of green and yellow. I think it is a simple but effective painting. It is for sale in Hearts and Flowers on Otley Road in Harrogate.
