When painting the portraits, I realised that I need to experiment with using other patterns to represent as the surrounding fear, and so having the same pattern in all the portraits might not be as effective as having different markings behind the portraits.
So I decided to use a range of small objects around my house such as a shell, nail and pencil to create the different markings with (I have made little notes aside the markings to decipher what they are).
The task now is to start to form portraits with different patterns to start forming some sort of blanket covering.
