Although I hadn't created any paintings as a response to my three artists, I had developed my drawing style through my life drawings and various initial observational sketches. I had come across Cristina Troufra's work on pinterest on a paintings and illustrations board (http://pinterest.com/sharvey/illustrations-paintings/), her depictions of various body poses and unfinished look interested so I created a small test piece using brown paper and acrylic paints. Although I liked the image I had painted (primary source photograph as reference) I feel that I am not a very accomplished painter and would not have been able to carry off a large scale painting.

On the other hand my test piece to Olga Feldman helped me tread on familiar ground. Again I came across Feldman on pinterest and quickly saw parallels to my own project, despite depicting body parts in her work she uses untraditional medias such as graphics. As I had used my graphics tablet in many different responses, I used it again with the aid of photoshop to create a test piece of feet. As Feldman's work has a cosmic feel I tried to replicate it. Although I really like the resulting image, the end photograph has over 100 layers- which made the image file very large and therefore photoshop or other media's displaying in image in a PDF format were prone to crashing. I feel that it would have been a large risk to take if I where to create more of these images (which was what I was planning to do).
