I added some colored pencil and added some blue and purple lines to the outline of the figure to make the piece more cohesive. The figure is to represent the outer self that is visible to the eye but the colors behind her, are supposed to be “below the surface” and express the raw identity and self. I used really thick acrylic paint and bright colors to express the “rawness” and intensity. The colors the girl is outline in are also the colors used in the background which was purposeful in showing up the surface that she shows is just like the tip of the iceberg and under that surface, there is so much more. My theme is the layers of identity and using colors, line, and form to express that pretty much. I used a much more impromptu way of painting things out this time and feel really satisfied with my results. This was definitely something out of my comfort zone and I feel pretty good about it.
The use of color representing different levels of one's self is incredibly well done. I especially love that they almost start to blend together in the middle in a very chaotic way
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with showing 'layers of identity' in this piece. You also did a great using the new way of painting, good job!
