Experimental

“Summer” – sketch

Acrylic, Oil, Tar

Objectives:

• Trying new processes on different surfaces.
• Breaking down figures into shape patterns. I love how the child developed in the sketch. In the final version, though, I compromised certain areas and lost a lot of the design qualities.
• To evoke a feeling of being in a particular environment.
• To develop and incorporate processes of picture making that are new and exciting to me. For this particular piece, I was still learning how to interpret and apply texture in unusual ways. Since I relied more on digital to copy and paste sections of the painting, I can now see the digital fingerprint. Though, I appreciate some areas over others. I needed to apply refinement more consistently throughout.
