On Tuesday, I produced these amazing canvas paintings. Sadly my tutors was not in so instead we create these canvas paintings based on our theme which for me is Travelling. All of my canvas where duck taped to the table to create this smooth canvas. Each painting means something different and each I’ve used different techniques. The first painting, I used cool colours to make sort of a ocean sensory. I used ink, my fingers and a lolly stick to create my artwork. I started by dipping my fingers in paint and smudging out of the paint onto the canvas. Next I dipped the lolly stick into different mixed up ink and started to tap to the lolly stick into my work creating these almost wave. I love the texture of this piece as you can see the waves and all the different colours almost pop out at you. To improve this piece of work I would like to add in some carbon paper drawings such as a turtle so people can release that my personally intake of the sea.
The second painting was based on a pond. I used different techniques to create this work such as my fingers, ink and a lolly stick. The colours I used were again cool colours as I don’t want to much going on in this canvas I wanted people to realise what each canvas is a representation of. Firstly I smudged paint into the canvas. Then to create my sky i dipped my fingers in paint and to make swirls. Next I created the pond reflection by using the same lolly stick technique. This painting represents a pond reflection to the sky. To improve I would add some sharpie drawings of a bridge and some fish in the water.
The third painting was based on the sunset sky. I used my fingers to create this painting. The colours I used was warm colours as I wanted to show the beauty in the sky when there is a magical sunset. I smudged a background to think about how my sunset should look then used my fingers to dap on paint. This is y favourite one out of all four paintings. To improve I would like to add carbon drawings of the sun and hot air balloons to give it more of a identity.
The last painting is a copy of my first painting just using warm tone colours. The black smudges weren’t actually suppose to be there I added them by mistake but I really think they add some darkness to my painting. This painting was based on again the sea but when the sunrise hit the horizon of the sea and you can see all those warm tones. To improve I would like to add a dolphin or a underwater creature again to bring my identity.
Iris Scott is a finger painter. She creates work that is amazing just using her bare hands which I think is beautiful. She has inspired me to use my fingers but create more abstracts things such as landscapes. I love her use of colours as it really makes her work glows. I feel so happy and excited to see her work as it inspires me to create abstract painting just like hers.
