This is the finished product of my mixed media contour drawing. It has a multicolour splatter paint background with contour butterflies in the foreground. I chose butterflies because you can put a lot of detail into them or just a simple outline but you still know what they are. Some of mine had detail, some didn't and they varied in size. I drew them with charcoal because it's bold and stands out. I chose not to add colour to the butterflies because I felt like the background represented the colour. Butterflies are know for their extraordinary colour and patterns. I wanted to show simple butterflies with a background of exploding colour.Holly Farrell's wine and spirits is a 14 x 36 inch oil and acrylic painting on masonite of jugs and wine bottles. I was drawn to this because I liked the rectangle shape of it instead of a square or portrait. I loved the detail in the basket-like bottle and in the labels. I liked how she made the bottles and labels look worn and old. The shadows are very well placed and so are the highlights. This painting is very common as you can see a shelf of bottles in any home or restaurant yet she captures it beautifully. |
