ART 1 |
Originally, I was going to make my piece with sketching pencils as it has a music theme and music is black and white. However, I really enjoyed using the Prismacolors for the sphere and Mrs. Sudkamp suggested I make this piece with them, so that's what I did. I took the mythical bird, the phoenix and standard musical notation. Explain your process from start to finish.I started by sketching the bird out in the same style that we made our gesture drawings. I then sampled the colors and wrote down the numbers so I could get them again. I started the piece on drawing paper by lightly sketching the phoenix and planning where the layers of fire would blend. I then started with a light layer of the yellow everywhere and continued outward. I would color the whole portion of fire with the lightest color and then slowly pull back from the middle as I added more layers of darker colors, between every layer going back over with the lighter colors. I repeated this until I built up and had blended the colors the way I wanted. I then finished it off by putting a line of dark purple/brown around the edge of the flames to make it stand out and I added the music notes with the dark reds.
