Portrait

Original Photo

Honestly, I was painting this painting without any pencil lines to guide me. I was trying to “connect” with the water on the picture by just finding the right shades of color and let nature do the rest.

We can usually find an image by searching for some on Google, looking in a book or a magazine, or just visualizing what we see in front of us. The only problem is that we are limited in terms of the quality and the viewing size of the image.

Being limited to searching for images on Google makes it difficult to find a unique or unusual image as it only brings up the most popular types of images. There’s also the issue of not being able to manipulate them to create a sort of interesting form of contrast from the image; it always stays the same.

The easiest way to find an image that is not repeated is to not use Google, Bing, or any site that can look for images. However, we could also use Google-searches images and try to find an new image within the image. This can also be applied to photographs, motion images or videos, illustrative posters, etc.

Some picture that I’m interested in painting.

1. A picture finds and affects us through the use of visual and emotional communication. Anyone, I think, can easily make a connection with a picture if it catches their eye, but if they can find its emotional message and relate to it, the connection between the two will become stronger.

2. Sometimes pictures can be an accurate representation of society, but not in the way we expect it. There are many times when they represent what society was like in the past, society in another nation or country, or a form of an ideal society that we strive to make a reality for ourselves.

3. A personal photograph can make us look back to how life was like to us when it was taken and make us feel one of three things: to feel appreciated that we got to experience the life that was portrayed in that photo, feel depressed because we realize how much easier life was back then, or make us regret not doing anything more in that particular time.

Subway billboards are usually forms of promotional to gain people’s interests, whether that be a college to apply for, Broadway shows, a bank company to try, etc. We either feel interested in learning more about whatever the billboard is promoting, or ignore it as if it doesn’t appeal to us or feel like it’s a waste of time.

One thing I’ve noticed about the color discordant exercise is that the grey is connected to the color’s intensity. The more intense the color is, the lighter the grey becomes. The less intense the color is, the darker the grey becomes.

Black & White

We can try to reduce color intensity by spreading it out more or by adding white or grey to it.

Other words for color intensity include strong, vibrant, and bright. No specific meaning to the term; just a way of describing the hue of a color.

Reducing a color means to tone down the brightness of the color to make it seem more dull.

For my paper collage, I wanted to use colors that relate to each other very closely. I used different geometric shapes to add some variety to it and decided to have some negative space open in some areas.

Piet Mondrian is a Dutch painter. He specializes in abstract-style artwork to the point where he only uses geometric shapes, patterns, and contrasting colors.
