Exploring Properties

I found an artist named Sarah Graham who created photorealistic paintings of bags of sweets. Although her methods are completely different to mine, I really like the colours in her paintings and want to find a way to make the colours in my compositions more vivid. 


I also began to experiment with making the materials more practical. I tried putting one of the pieces in the fridge and the oven to see if I could make it solid. The fridge did not help at all, and the oven was too hot, and melted the composition into a crispy black mess. I might try mixing the sweet mix with PVA glue to see if I can make it solid. Below is a photograph of the piece in the fridge.

Although the sweets that were left in the oven did not turn out how I wanted them to, they made some intresting brown colours.
