“Daenerys Targaryen”

Acrylic, Brayer, Cut Paper

Objectives:

• Create textures in several values on separate pieces of paper with acrylic paint, brayers, and brushes.
• It’s important to have 3-4 values because values render form.
• When many lines and shapes are randomly arranged together on a page, it can be overbearing and too active. We don’t know where to begin to look. When you cut the paper, you are subtly creating a line around certain areas of your page, telling the viewer what to concentrate on. You now have a new shape. Thus, our eyes will interpret the groupings of marks as “texture” much in the same way we understand pointillism by how close or far apart marks are associated in relation to the white of the paper.
• To create a dynamic graphic interpretation of the human form.
