Art I
"I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream." -Vincent Van Gogh
5/12/2017 0 Comments Final Project ProgressThis first photo is the original sketch I made onto the 22x28 canvas. I tried to get as much detail into the sketch as possible, mostly so that I would not have to rely so much on going back and forth between my photo and the actual piece while painting. This step just allowed me to get an idea of where everything needed to be. The first step in the painting process was to get the skin finished. I got the right color for her skin mixed up, but I struggled to get the highlights the right color and I think the skin still needs a little warmth. I also completed her hair, using a mix of black and brown paint to create this color. In the next step, I made a lot of progress with her face and even started her face. But I still didn't feel like I had gotten her face right, so I went back to that in the next step. Today, I worked more on the face, trying to keep everything symmetrical and add some highlight. But that didn't seem to help much, so left it how it was and decided to move onto her clothes. I finished the shirt today, but I still want to go back later on and perfect all of the stripes and details of the fabric.
