My artwork is a Christmas cookie platter. I decided to use this as my subject, because it is something that I “did” and “ate” over winter break. My grandma and I made cookies that were very similar to the ones in my drawing. We also had them at the family Christmas for everyone to eat. I created this drawing with colored pencils. In the wood, I tried to mix many colors to achieve the look of wood. I also used a white coloring pencil to mesh all the colors together. Burnishing helped me very much throughout the entire piece. |
Color Scheme Project - Progress Post
-I will be using monochromatic for my color scheme. - I found that it is actually quite difficult to draw a shoe. I am also finding it generally easy to make different tints and shades of red. - I plan to use a square piece of paper, because I think the shoe will look drowned out if I use a rectangle size. I will draw the shoe and the background lightly and then paint over it. I also want to test if adding water over the panting will make it blend together more evenly. |

,Color Scheme Project - Final Post
- By limiting my color choices to a specific color scheme, I learned that it was not that hard to get different colors. I was able to create very light colors and very dark colors with the color I chose. I was even able to make a brown-like color with the red and black. - I think I will use color schemes in the future. I would like to see how the other schemes look, and different was to manipulate them in my artwork. - I learned a little bit on how to work with paint. I also learned that mixing different paints to get the exact color I want is not as hard as it seems. I discovered that I like working with this color scheme and I hope to create another piece with the monochromatic color scheme. - The reason I chose this object and color is because my favorite color is maroon and I have converse that are exactly like the shoe in the picture. |
