The first portrait uses wet on dry techniques to accurately display warm colours upon dark clothing. As this method is usually used for outlining designs and demonstrating detail, these colours aren’t blended correctly and merge into lighter shades of the colour. 

The second portrait uses blending techniques through the use of copic markers to display a colder colour pallet. Water colouring has been incorporated into the background to demonstrate different textures within the image. These colours help the audience visualise the snow goggles and gear within its environment.

The third portrait uses wet on wet water colouring techniques to blend the colours more accurately. The facial expressions are more distinct and visualised through an irredescent colour pallet. 

The fourth portrait uses a collage of textures from magazines, receipt and a brown paper bag. This gives more texture and variety between colours while giving a distinct colour pallet. The shapes were cut out using stencils and placed together using layers. The glare is used to show the sun on a 2D landscape. 

The fifth portrait has used white and brown rice, spices and a chopping board as a collage of colours to give a wider range of texture. Due to the rice being bound to its form and being unable to move freely, this method lacks distinctiveness and is hard to visualise.
