Object (Oil Painting)

For this project we were supposed to take a picture of different everyday objects. I searched and found these three pictures. The picture of the red and white flowers and the one with the shells were from the Olson house in Maine where Andrew Wyeth painted a lot of his pictures. The third was a picture I took in my art class of some flowers my teacher got for her birthday.

Mrs. Rossi said she like the red flower picture the best so I traced out the basic proportions of it and used a green acrylic wash for the base of the background. 

I had a really hard time adding depth into the flowers and the shelf so it looks flatter than it should. I really need to paint the edges and create more blue green shadowing in the flowers.

I also need to go back into the napkin and add some detail and shadows.

Prismacolor Reflection

For this first project, we were told to make a reflection project (realistic of metaphorical) out of prismacolors. I was thinking about 9/11, because the week of is when we started the project. I wanted to take a picture of me looking down into a puddle that was reflecting a plane that is about to crash into the twin towers. I went outside and took this picture. 

I traced the basic picture on to a black piece of paper and began to layer and color.

Add caption

After a while it just got really thick and was hard to blend. I ended putting a bunch of colors in making which made it looked flat and scared my art teacher. I decided just to erase it all and add more white.

It just never went back to the way I imagined it to be. Maybe if I went in with some darker colors it would work out better.

After that first epic fail I found this picture in my camera roll and started drawing it for fun in my other classes.

My teacher Allowed me to use this one instead of the old one, which I'm much more proud of.
