Lipstick

My goals were to use thick paint to portray the lipstick. I accomplished this by using a pallet knife. My painting is about thick strokes. The most difficult challenge was mixing colors. I met that challenge my being patient with the paint. My painting really works in the reflection on the gold tube. I learned how to utilize thick paint. I learned about color from Diebenkorn. I learned from Megan how to utilize the pallet knife. If i were to do it over I would put more colors in to the blue areas. I feel i utilized thick paint the best!!!!

My photos represent the leftovers from thanksgiving. The leaves represent the leftover food that we can not eat and the tree represents the carcus of the turkey.

Shady Hallow

My goals and intentions of this piece were to make bold statements by carving out the light and leaving the outlines to the viewers imagination. i accomplished this by using only shadows and light. My painting is about having as little detail as possible but still creating an image of pumpkins.The most difficult challenge was not to draw to many details. I met that challenge by focusing on the shadows and light. My painting really works well on the borders of the light and dark areas. I have learned how dramatic subtle light can be and in my next pieces I will utilize light more.
