BOard 1

Last week in art, I finished three pieces for my folio 1. Unfortunately, I haven't started my board two but I have a single piece finished. 

 These are three of the pieces I will put on my board 1

I was inspired by horror comic covers for this piece.

Folio Board 1 update

I would like to work on the mirror more since it takes up space but it looks boring.

I have also been working on the top and the two squares for the past few weeks.

I would like to tweak the first digital painting I did since I do not like how the face looks. Everything else is okay though but this week I will be working on the landscapes. 

 

Impressionalism notes

 https://www.sothebys.com/en/art-movements/impressionism

•  A style developed in France during the mid to late 19th century 
• often termed the first movement in modern painting
• Artists applied new paint layers over wet paint layers which softened and blended the colors.
• The application added opaque dimensions of colour
• Japanese influence (ukiyo-e ) - figures are captured in a single moment and foreshortening

 These artists working outside instead of in a studio helped them capture the impression of light and instead of using black and grey in shadows, they used complementary colours. 

 My thoughts are that using colours that are other than black and white makes the painting pop out more and helps convey a brighter and less gloomy feeling making the artwork look like it's from another place that isn't earth. 

No.

I can implement impressionalism in my folio by blending layering paints over paint that is still wet. I also would try to attempt the lighting in impressionism  even though I struggle with lighting. 

Glazing

 Glazing is the process of applying translucent paint over an opaque layer. This technique is mostly used by painters to create a glow. It can also be used to describe a form. Applying glaze takes patience though, the lower layer has to be really really dry before applying the translucent layer and oil paints take a while to dry otherwise the opaque colour under will lift and the glaze will no longer be translucent. For luminosity, applying multiple layers of translucent colour is the best way but requires the most patience. Thin means the addition of pigment in oil. It is done in oil painting to increase viscosity and spreadability.

Glazing technique used

Spreading the paint with a spatula

   This year, my Kaupapa is Spiritual/Cultural. It is more on the spiritual side as I would be basing my portfolio around vampires I chose this theme because I like the vampire and victorian aesthetic, along with the dark theme. 

I chose to reflect this theme using these objects. Heart since that's where blood pumps. A bat since vampires can turn to bats. Moon because they mostly thrive in the night and apple because it's red and it's like the temptation fruit from adam and eve. All of these relate to my Vampire kaupapa.  I don't think I demonstrated much but I used carravagios technique of a dark brown background.
