Tutorial Exercise 6 - 9th February 2013

In this tutorial we were asked to make a painting out of a sketch. 

I started off taking different shades of brown and applied the paint using the brush tool onto different layers of the sketch. From then on I used the smudge tool in certain areas to give the painting a finished touch.

 I wanted to create a sort of textural idea where I was not so concerned of the choice of colour but to the details of certain parts of the painting. Hence this is what I came up with.

Tutorial Exercise 3 - 22nd January 2013

This tutorial  mainly focused on the different ways of shading using the brush tool as well as the smudge tool in certain defined areas. the shading of the sphere is not as easy as it appears as it needs layers and layers of shading, starting from the bottom to top, to give a balanced look to it.

Essay - Colour

Colour

Colour is a perception in our eyes and is an essence in everything. It is more that what is merely seems to be and we as individuals take it for granted and do not realize the depth that represents any such colour. Colours can also influence a person’s moods, feelings and emotion; they could also play a part in a person’s actions, for example; responses to people, situations and ideas.

My favourite colour is blue and all shades of it. It is a cool colour that symbolizes the colour of the sky and ocean. I feel that the colour blue gives a feeling of distance and most artists use it to show perspective. By using this colour scheme artists try to create a sense of energy and depth in the painting. Thus helping to create balance and allows one to look beyond and increase ones level of perspective outward.

Artist's Work- Showing perspective

The colour turquoise can also be considered as a shade or blue. It can represent a symbol of youth and it is also a colour of a famous gem stone. I feel that it brings about a soothing effect as well as a certain kind of energy and can be seen as a colour that symbolizes relaxation as well as feelings of communication and peace. The colour also has a deep meaning to it, hence has been used in amulets to represent health, confidence, strength and protection.
