This is another piece I plan to use for my concentration once its finished. This will be a portrait of my neighbors granddaughter at disney. When she gave me the commision she told me she wanted it because she was afraid she wouldn't remember going there once she grows up. I knew then it would be perfect for my concentration. Im using prismacolor colored pencils and ive found it to be very difficult and time consuming. Im very used to being able to erase or go over work I dont like and although the pencils can partially erase, its hard to removed unwanted color.
This is an oil that I did outside of class that has not yet been completed. I have never used a palette knife to paint before so this was a new experience for me. I usually dont do or enjoy landscapes very much but ive found that i really like palette knife painting . Each color i only partially mixed so that i never had solid colors and it gave it more depth. I really liked the way the paint moved around but its hard to add to it after it has dried ive learned.
For my concentration i've decided to have a theme of things you cont remember about your past. This pencil drawing is of me as a baby at what I believe is my second birthday party. It was done with pencils 8B-HB. Since i have never drawn a baby before this was a stretch for me because I learned childrens features are much different than teens or adults. |
