The next assignment is the painting assignment. In this assignment, we were to create a painting built off of a google image. Once you found an image you like, you were to begin painting over the image in a separate layer. You were to create the painting without making it look filled in but realistic. In my painting, I created a tiger using my own, creative colors. I believe the strongest technical aspect of my work is the texturized brushes I used. I used texturized brushes to display the realistic effects of my tiger painting. A technical aspect of my work I can improve on is the detail of my tiger's nose. I noticed that my tiger's nose looks partially filled in and could definitely used more texture or color values.
There were easy and difficult aspects of my tiger painting. The easiest part of this art activity was the tracing of the tiger in the original google image. This wasn't difficult because there wasn't too much effort needed to follow the outline of the image. The most difficult part of this activity was the texturizing of the tiger. This was extremely difficult because you use only brushes to create the realistic effect of the tiger. Because of this, the process becomes an act of trial and error one what looks the best as you create your painting.
The objective of this painting was to transform a real image into a painting using various brushes and opacity changes to achieve a realistic painting. I demonstrated this objective in my painting in areas like my entire tiger and the background. The detail of both my tiger and background were created using various texturized brushes as well as opacity changes to create a realistic painting of my tiger. If I could do this art activity again, I would try creating the same tiger. However, I would create the tiger using its colors as seen in reality rather than my own vibrant colors. I would do this differently because I would like to compare which I enjoy the look of more. In conclusion, in this assignment, we were to create a painting built off of a google image.
This is a well balanced and unified painting. The bright green eyes add a strong focal point. Excellent job outlining the different shapes and adding the element of texture. I think a change in value from the head to the body could help add more depth to the tiger. The snowflakes in the background add a magical quality to the piece.Great job!!!
