Word Illustration

My word topic is Valentines, so I chose to draw the flowers for this topic because the sweetest thing between valentines is send flowers to each other. I remember when I received those flowers on my birthday, it was a exciting thing, thus I would like to paint them and rememory it!

Mini-series

From this year, my favorite works are the New York buildings, glasses and the one I drew about Williamsburg. In my opinion, the contrast between dark and light has been the most successful. I like the light makes everything look different in dark, and color shifted. Because I like the picture with strong contrast between light and dark, so when I choose the picture I'll more focus on this point. After  I practiced more, I have learned more skills to draw pictures that have contrast between light and dark.  I think it is successful because I used really simple background but can highlight the objects. I like oil painting best, and I like my paintings with buildings best. I have learned a lot through this whole year with Ms. Rickman's help, how to make color shift and contrast dark and light, also I learned about dimensional drawing for my Spanish project!

Glass

I found Janet Fish, subject of her paintings are similar to mine, both of us I chose glasses to paint. Her paintings attract me because her paintings are cool to look, different style as others like abstract painting. Look back to my painting, I used different style to paint those glasses, more focused on reflection to make the painting looks more real, I like.

New York ---Edward Hopper's style

I choose the picture I took in New York, because it relates to Edward Hopper's most paintings about New York. When I drew this painting, it took a while and worked on it so hard, but after I finished the painting I like it a lot although I simplified it.
