My idea for this piece was to paint one of my mom's favorite plates. Having my concentration as objects which I associate with home - I wanted to have a piece representing my mom's plate collection.
The photo on the left is made by a new strategy I am using to create a mix between my reference photos and my own photos. The plate on the tablecloth is a photo I took myself. The egg is a photo I printed from offline. I cut out the egg photo and taped it on my photo. I find this to be extremely helpful. Another thing I have learned is to use my prismas to tweak any colors in the photo by directly coloring on top.
This project took me two class periods to complete, because it is a 5x5 canvas. Although, looking back I wish I used a bigger canvas.
I've been on the hunt for gold oil paints. I have a gold acrylic paint, but I am hesitant about putting acrylic on oil. This weekend I will be shopping for new prismas so I will also be searching for a gold oil paint. I think having an oil gold hue is beneficial because I can mix the gold with my colors to give my pieces a more overall glow. I can small amounts to help with highlights and reflections. This is an old thing I would always do in Art 1. Going back to the basics never hurts. I am excited as I do think I am gaining a better understanding of color schemes.
