Shes at school, but dreams of freedom away from her boring routine.I tried to incorporate repetition of structure with the bricks that repeat through out the painting. I used the same processes with the side walk as it gradates into the back ground. By creating a stark contrast between the two spaces by using different temperatures in color. PS. I used Sara Argenta as my model.

ReplyDeleteSarah, this piece is really good! I love the idea and how you represented her day dreaming with a flock of birds. I definitely think that the bricks that you continued into the sky helped your piece alot, it might even be good to add a few more to show a strong concentration structure. I think you also could add more value and contrast to the girl to make her stand out more since she is the main subject of the piece. I really like your idea of using different color temperatures to further the difference between her dreams and reality; it worked really well. Overall, this is a really nicely done piece- it makes me want to fly away instead of going to school on Monday!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI really do like this water color painting (and not just because I modeled for it). I like how you added the extra bricks but, what I would suggest is that you make the extra bricks change to blue gradually. I think that it would've also been cool if you tried making the birds go in like a tornado shape and fly off the page. Overall, you did a great job :)
sarah I really liked hows yours turned out! you always do such a good job with the bright colors in your pieces and I love them! My advice for you is to maybe have the girl stand out a bit more because I feel like she gets lost in the piece because she kind of blends with the brick wall and the birds take a little away from her too.
ReplyDeleteSarah- good work! You effectively redrew into this piece and using Sharpie or a thin marker really helped to define your shapes. I think I would like to see your sky developed a bit more with more depth to the color. If it were a dream- the colors ought to be more brilliant and deep to represent that dream like feel. The words on the bricks should have some shadows in them to show that they are written on the brick wall. This will help the "real" part of the picture to look more realistic. Finally, consider your overall format (size and shape of your artwork) - if you cut an odd shape - how will you present the work? Overall, good job and I am impressed with your focus on creativity!
