Jess has shown a wide range of artists that have created close ups.	Jess then decided to concentrate on Domenico Gnoli. Presenting pictures of his work and information on a double page spread she has also included artists’ analyses. The shoe toe-tip in the bottom left hand corner and the blue and red tie in the top right corner (next page) are her own paintings.	Jess has worked in the same medium as her artist so that she can learn from going through the process that Gnoli has gone through.

Continuing to take inspiration from Gnoli’s work Jess took close-up photographs of plaited hair. It is important that the photos are of good quality.	Note how they mirror Gnoli’s work so there is also a link being made to the artist.	This is a close of of the pencil drawing from the previous page.
This is a close of of the pen drawing from the previous page.	Wanting to explore more than one idea Jess photographed a wide range of stiletto shoes, choosing to continue to take inspiration from Gnoli by arranging them and photographing a rear view.
Experimenting now with pencil crayon Jess worked from these new photographs.	Next Jess presented three different composition ideas.	Deciding that acrylic would be her medium for her final piece Jess practiced painting the shoes below. She knew that she painted slowly (perhaps this is why she gets such great results!) and she was reassured that it would be okay to produce just one painting but if she did more she could arrange them into any of the compositions above.
This is the final piece that was painted in a 10 hour exam.
