Done.
I've finalised the details of my
painting by reducing the quantity of medium mixed in with my acrylic.
70/30. Also, an artist friend made me glaze
over the entire piece with a very diluted warm yellow to meld the composition
that seemed too disjointed.
This was a great exercise in the
discovery of mediums and their applications, as well as the practice of really
looking and studying the subject.
BUT (and there is always a but), for
one, I must have been influenced with the upcoming Christmas season to keep my
colors so prominently red and green. But, I think, since I'm not that really
that interested in super/hyper realistic paintings unless there is more to the
mere representation of the subject, I wanted some elements of the final piece
to suggest more. I put great effort in
working the background to lightly suggest the form of the original apple
(October) as well as keep the background color plastic and graphic. I find this
piece has become surrealistic and it's always been an Art movement that has
intrigued me... Need more reflection on
this...
Since this month November is coming to
a close, I decided to complete the drawing portion of the study with ink in
different techniques I had recently been taught. Dry Brush, wet in wet, Pen nibs and
brushes. Ink always surprises me. The results of working with it are often unexpected
because the medium is fluid, but not always to my satisfaction. Still,
I learn allot about my own patience when working with ink.
On to the next month, the next photo,
the next composition. On to the next
adventure in discovery. Hope you will
join me...
