I am so appreciative of the feedback from week four, and for the encouragement to make more color portraits- this has been a daunting task for me in the past, something I’m intrigued by and also scared of messing up. In doing this, I feel the pressure to live up to my mind’s expectation of the final result, and do my best despite being attached to an outcome. Basically, I’m trying not to make them look like a Sea-World Caricature! In this week’s portrait, “Sarah Readin’” I drew influence from Austrian artist, Egon Schiele, for his modest use of color, and using color opposites drawn side by side, to give off a certain ’3D Glasses’ effect; Seen here in Female Nude Seated on Red Drapery, Back View (1914)

Picturing Still Life
Based on some very helpful feedback on last week’s drawing, I’ve been venturing deeper into the world of raw textures, reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh’s work with still life. By applying thicker, darker marks to the paper, I create many layers of texture and color without using my finger tips to wipe away the course pattern left behind by chalk pastel. Also, I really stuck with a principle learned from last quarter about using black and white to imply shadow and reflection, only this time I supplemented black and white with lighter and darker colors for a more vivid look; a technique often used by Van Gogh. Check out my latest: “Still Life with Oranges” under the Images tab.
