![]() ![]() I think my piece shows this idea by the whites of the dress settling down the vibrancy of the pinks. Bato uses more simple, lighter tones to calm down these sections without changing his application technique of dramatic strokes. He also uses light to "settle" parts of his piece like the sky. In terms of the similarities and differences of his piece to mine, I see a relation between using color to define a space that is supposed to occupy our eye more than the rest of the piece like how his use of vibrant colors at the bottom gets the viewer to realize there's more to the "sloppy" blotches of paint, similar to how I use the bright yellows and pinks to show the depth in that area. Although he is not a world renown artist, I believed his work was a great representation of all the art movements I saw related to my piece such as fauvism, post-impressionism, and abstraction in the way he used color, form, pattern, and light. I settled on this specific piece because I thought that it showed the layering of multicolored paints I wanted to achieve pretty well and how his block like strokes did not draw attention to detail but instead to space. I, as a viewer, began to get the idea that the composition of these strokes are supposed to be buildings and the more vivid colored strokes at the bottom are demonstrating a " busier" area like perhaps a small shopping strip. There were many artists, movements, and painting I had the opportunity to chose from because I saw multiple similarities in brushstrokes and color, but in the end I decided to go with Bato Dugarzhapov's "Baltschug. On the outskirts of the fabric I used gray for most of the shadow from the fabric bunching up but I also used blues as if it were blending or dripping back into the rest of the piece. Towards the center of the fabric I used peaches, grays, whites, and almost lime because I enjoyed the way it kept with the idea of color but almost as if it were using a different color theme. Finally, as for the draping fabric in the corner, I also used vertical strokes but they were less organized this time. So what I did was use vertical strokes starting with grey at the bottom transitioning to white as if it were a reflection of the metal. I also wanted the table leg to be a bit more visible because it was a more boxed out shape and I liked how that differentiated from the rest. As for the background, I knew I wanted it to be black to contrast the light, but again still wanted to emphasize the use of color so I threw in a deep blue with some grey. ![]() I then added more transition colors or light particles as I called them my mixing many variations of yellows, pinks, purples, oranges, and even some blue got in there to go with the foreground. I went in with yellow for the flowers and later went back in with green to kind of differentiate them from the light and make them more a part of the dress because they looked out of place with just the yellows against the grey. Making my way into the mid ground, I used primarily white and grey with a bit of creme for the dress. This was not going to work for me so I switched to a medium sized brush that would give me enough room to lay down more than once color at once, but not over saturate the canvas with a blob of paint. As for my applicator, I attempted using the knifes but I was afraid to lay down too much paint at one time so I ended up just pushing around the color. There are also parts where you can see how I mixed my purple and green "transition" colors with the blues and pinks/yellows to act as the blending light particles. Some sections got a little muddy but you can see how I mixed my oranges, yellows, and pinks for the warm part of the piece and the pallet sections where I dirtied my whites with blue and grey for the cooler. ![]() The colors in the photo were all used and if you peek at the pallet, you can almost study how I used them. So while I was at the store, I picked up a new brighter white, an art pallet for paint mixing, and pallet knives for experimenting with layering the paints. My white acrylic was too creme colored for my taste and the only other white I had was a crummy tempera. I used acrylics from three brands consisting of Apple Barrel, Craft Smart, and Testors Craft. ![]()
