Lyrical PaintingsIndia Ink Drawings |
For this project we created paintings that incorporate lyrics from our favorite songs, the words should have a deeper meaning to us, and they should be hidden within it. I love the movie Mamma Mia, so I decided to paint one of my favorite scenes from that movie and incorporate the lyrics into the water and the dock. I used many different colors to get the waves and dock the way I wanted, I used Yellow, Blue, Brown, Pink, White, and Black. I had to paint over my work a lot because it wasn't the way I wanted. Now I am pleased with my final product. The size of the painting was 20x15 1/2.
For this project, the objective was to sketch out a picture, then paint over it with india ink to show the value, texture and balance in the picture. I decided to paint my dog Sally, from a photograph. This project was a lot more difficult than I expected. I really liked how my sketch turned out, but when I started with the india ink, I had a difficult time deciphering texture from value. It was hard to get the areas with more light just right. It doesn't look exactly like the picture I used as a reference, but this project was a good learning experience and I know my art can only improve from here.
