I dream my painting, then I paint my dream. |
-My linocut shows off the theme "line" because there a-lot of straight edges, corners and curved lines incorporated into the art.
-My Piece was successful because the print came out clean and there we just a couple places that didn't get as much paint as the others. If I had to change anything, I would make cleaner cuts with the blade by using the widest tip possible for the white areas and the smallest ones for small details and lines. I would also choose a design that didn't have as many sharp edges and lines since I was just starting out.

My Process
-Creating my Box, I added a Mahogany Color to the outside of both pieces, then, i added a second coat of white with blue speckles to the inner piece, as well as the inside. Next, i added a green glaze with blue speckles to the inside of the outer piece. -I found that making my sides as straight as possible was a challenge, and they often came apart from the other pieces. Next time around, I would definitely spend more time on getting a near perfect box. My most helpful warm up was the Hue Value Scale because it helped me create natural colors that made my painting look a lot better.
-My piece represents home for me. It is a lake in my neighborhood, and its important because its a very relaxing scene and I like to fish from that lake as well. -The most challenging aspect of the picture I chose was the trees, they required a-lot of detail and time to paint. -I feel that my colors were the most successful thing about my painting, because I could show more "life - like" color values. - Starting out, I applied my base colors of my painting (various greens blues and browns), then I filled them in with different textures. After that I added very small details to the leave and reflections in the water. The Color Mixing activity showed me how to make lots of different colors. It also helped me with creating different shades of each color that I created. Brown is made from mixing a few combinations of colors. For example, you can mix blue and orange to make brown, as well as yellow and purple, and a few other colors. |
