Painting 3 collage

This paintings were really funny to do. I added collage to my art to make fun and great pieces, if you do it right. The first one, I did on health care, and how you need money to have it. I feel like everyone should have insurance, even if they can afford it. I used a red back ground to symbolize blood that has been spilled because of people not having insurance. I kinda messed this piece up, because I spray acrylic coating on the painting first, when really I need to just spray the tissues. It still was fun adding collages to make the picture to show meaning and point out a issues.

Now the second one turn out much better. I used different colors to make kind of a ocean back ground and then add some Japanese influenced fish to make the painting come alive. That's the good thing about painting if you mess up, you can always try again and make it better. I really like both of this pieces and will defiantly being doing collages in the future.

Peaceful Night

This painting complementary analogous. The main colors I used were purple, red, and green.  What jumps out first in this painting is the palm tree. I also put gesso down to make the tree have a 3D effect. I made this piece dark, showing the night is coming to a end.

I also used black and white for changing the pigment of my main colors. I mostly used black to make the painting look like is was night time. I add white to the red to make the sun glare off the water, looking like a sun setting. This was a very fun piece and will be painting more very soon.

The Lonely Waterfall

This painting is a analogous piece. It is called "The Lonely Waterfall". I used green and blue for the main colors, and then mix them together with white and black to get different shades. This painting was hard, because I couldn't use any other color two and mix them together to altar the pigment.

 I love to draw Mother Nature, but found it difficult to paint it. I used gesso to make the mountain rise off the canvas. I made the sky dark blue and covered it with clouds. The trees are in front of the mountain with them casting a shadow into the lake.

Complete Control (4th painting)

Painting 1 Critique

This was my very first painting ever call the "Take Over". I choose to draw a eye, and found  out it was alittle harder then I thought. I first I was just going to draw a eye as real as I could, but was having trouble. So I just did one abstract. Then I saw a face in the art work and decided to make like a demon taking control of the eye. This was the first stage of take over.

I choose to make the eye white, the background black and the demon red. It had a lot of lines that are drawn together to found a weird and strange picture of an eye. The mood is really up to the viewer. I believe it is really scary and maybe demented. I really like this piece for my first painting. It came out a lot better then I thought.
