For this week, I decided to do another realistic work to balance out my abstract pieces. I was in orchestra one day, leaning on my cello and dozing, when I suddenly saw an awesome composition! So I took a picture of my cello from an interesting angle/viewpoint, showing a lot of reflection. The work is on canvas with black-and-white acrylic paint. I feel like I reached new levels of detail with this piece...I've always gotten to a level in painting where I'm too lazy/unwilling to really delve in and add intricate detail--but this time I made myself go to that level, and I think it paid off. I like the exploration of reflections/distortions in this piece, and I also like that you can see my hands, one of which is holding a bow (I think it adds content to the piece).
I love how you handled the background and the black and white apporach was nice. I would really want to buy a print of this.
ReplyDeleteThis piece is well developed through shape and value to create the image of the cello. The background and hand could use some finishing touches because the hand almost blends into the background but other than that this piece is very successful.
ReplyDeleteThis really shows your unique perspective of things. you kept working at this piece until it was able to show us exactly want you wanted it to. This is definitly a snapshot of your life, and i am impressed.
