In this painting I chose to use somewhat complimentary colors to help my leaf and lemon slice pop off the page. The lines in my leaf were difficult but I eventually decided to mix a little black with the brown and not use as much water so the lines were visible.
In this piece I used water based paints to capture a still life image of leaves. It was very smart of Mrs. Heideman to tell us to start with the lightest colors. I used yellow as the base of all of my leaves and it worked well to compliment the Browns and greens that I added later. The negative space helps to bring out the color in the leaves as well, the contrast is incredible. I enjoyed this painting very much. |
