I arranged a tutorial with Adele as I was struggling to find inspiration and I felt as though I had hit a bit of a wall in my development. It was an extremely useful tutorial that allowed me to leave feeling inspired and like I was back on track. I showed Adele my sketch book and she recommended that I look at paintings from the medieval period to really get my colour palette accurate. She said that currently the colours I am using and some of the images I have used as inspiration are too 'electric' for the period; in some examples she showed me I saw that the colour palette was much duller than that which I had been using. The colours were muted, with deep, rich tones but not particularly bright and I need to bare that in mind when designing. We also discussed the fabrics I should use and that they should be natural; silks, wool, leather linen and also perhaps velvet as it started to become popular a bit after the period of the play but I think it would look very effective, especially silk velvet. I feel more confident in where I need to take my research and development following this tutorial and I now need to go fabric shopping and try to find some fabric to inspire my designs. I also need to do some more research into medieval paintings and the sort of colour palette that they had and the colours that I should be using.
