This piece was inspired by Sazed from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn: Hero of Ages. The color scheme I went for was white, purple, and brown. I used several new techniques to try and capture the right texture for this, including using string to move the paint around and using an old bottle cap to scratch at the paint.
Painting this piece was pretty fun to do, simply because there's no expected levels of realism to uphold when you do an abstract painting. It becomes painting for the sake of painting, rather than painting for the sake of creating an accurate, realistic picture of the world. Rather than worry about how many more hours I needed to make it look good, I could debate the purpose of each layer and whether or not I wanted another.
I like how it came out, largely purple with so much white breaking through. I feel that it captured Sazed's feelings of guilt and conflicting emotions in an interesting way.
I really like the texture in this painting. It also has a great sense of movement in it.
ReplyDeleteWow double wow!!! This is awesome!! I love everything about it!! My favorite part that you did was the super tiny lines! They add so much detail and depth.Again very good job!! Can't wait to see more work from you :D
ReplyDeleteI like the colors, and the brush strokes and texture looks really good too. It's really abstract, and it looks good. It looks like you spent a lot of time on it. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you decided to use so many new, to you, and different techniques for this piece. I also agree with what you say about not really having to worry about having to spend so much time trying to make it look realistic. With abstract you get the chance to experiment and have fun, which it seems you did!
