Paint
Even though the palette knife was the most difficult to use I like the outcome of using that more than the paint brush. From this I learned just how much and how well oil paint can and does mix. It gives an easy way to make things look realistic and is an easy way to give texture. The only thing I don't really like about it is how smooth it is and depending on what I'm doing I don't really like how slow it dries.

1. I feel satisfied with my craftsman ship. I made sure to make the lines thick like the referred art style as well as making sure there were no straight lines. I'm satisfied with the color scheme as well and am glad that in a way it all flows together.
2. Like Hunderwasser I took a picture and turned it into a magical world, while still keeping the main elements and placings as the original photo. I made my lines thick and the over all picture full of color that doesn't draw your eye to one said place. 3.when choosing the colors I made sure to keep the water in the ranges of blues and purples. This was so people wouldn't mistake it for a field or another flat piece of land. Then to add some bright colors I added some yellows, reds and oranges to the sky to both imitate a sunset as well as add more eye catching color. 4. I felt that there were no direct focal point though If I could choose one now it would be the rocks. At first ( as seen in progress photo 1) I was going to leave them without detail to make it a focal point, though I felt that it stood out too much so I gave it curved squares. Even still it catches the eye a bit more than everything else. 5. I used texture withing the ripples of the water. I made sure I have an even mix of both thick and thin curvy lines to show the movement and flow of the water. 6. This was one of the ideas I choose that did not have a border. Though I feel that the painting is still brought together by the trees. 7. I had multiple difficulties making this work such as choosing which colors to use for what. Though my biggest struggle would be deciding what pattern to put into the rocks to make them not stand out to much but to not make them blend in at the same time. I also thought that making my lines neat was a huge challenge and looking at the finish product I see that I haven't fully solved that issue. Though to make it better I used the silver, bronze, and gold markers to make my lines look more neat and I am satisfied with the way that turned out in the end. |
AuthorMy name is Phylicia and I go by the same thing. I'm pretty much an open book and my art work hopefully shows that as well. Archives
