Paint
sketchFinished Piecece1. I'm not overly impressed by my craftsman ship though I a satisfied with its turn out. Instead of using a paintbrush I decided to go for a messy look by using the palette knife. I had a different method of painting when first going in though because i am not used to how well oil paint mixes I decided to use the palette knife.
2. Throughout the painting I wanted to make sure to separate the warm and cold colors. The warm were used mostly for the rocks and leaves while the cold were for the sky and road.As I continued to paint I noticed that I wasn't sure what colors to use to use for leaves so they don't wash into the rocks and sky. Though I am satisfied with how I chose the purples and magentas for the leaves so they don't blend into the other aspects of the painting. 3. For the sections where I used warmer colors I made sure to highlight with a cooler color and the same with the warmer sections. This created contrast between warm and cold to bring out texture, color as well as to create depth. 4. using a palette knife was an easy way to create texture in my painting. One example being the leaves and the shrubs. The strokes I made going in different directs I feel worked well together to create a good texture that differs from the rocks, sky, or road. To highlight I used slightly more warmer tones in places dominated by cooler colors and cool colors in places dominated by warm places. 5. Because I used the palette knife it was hard to show a lot of detail thus hard to create depth. Though there were a few instances where I can call where I created depth and that would be when creating the highlights and shadows. The rocks and cliff in my painting and good examples of that. 6. My greatest painting technique that I used was my palette knife strokes. I created the messy look with the oil paint that I was going for. It also managed to stop form over mixing the colors past the point that I wanted them to. 7. My greatest difficulty with my drawing would be deciding on what colors to use where and how to highlight and shade certain spots. I feel if I didn't rough my drawing up like i did ten I would've had a more clear idea for what I wanted my painting to look like. 8. my greatest success with this painting would be my use for contrast. The sky, though simple, was also my favorite part because It had a messy yet clean look. You could tell what parts of the painting was and what my over all idea was without asking even though my design was messy.
