Art 1.1 Wet media and Dry media

Using a combination with wet media and dry media was a pretty cool technique to use and do.

What I had to do was make a portrait to draw from, I created a cylinder and a triangle looking cone. 

This was my first time using charcoal in fact willow charcoal. Firstly I had to use wet media, which known as water paint, to create an light colourful effect on the artwork before lightly scraping the charcoal onto the portrait paper.

As you can see I used water colour first, trying to make an effect of leading lines. 

I am creating leading lines to make the objects the focal point of the artwork, it didn't worked out as expected but I love the way I tried and how it turned out. 

Next I used Willow Charcoal to sketch the shadows of the objects and also darkening the background trying to make everything focus onto one piece of the image.  

What was challenging to do in this artwork was trying to line the shadow reflects hoping it would look realistic, and also shaping the objects which is the key to this artwork. 

I used an eraser to basically draw the lining of the props, rubbing out the edges so you can see the prop. I moved onto erasing the light touching parts as seen on the props creating a light effect, showing where the light is coming from. 

Art 1.1 Water Painting

Water painting in art was very interesting to do for there are many ways to create your own art drawing. Of course painting is one thing to easily do during water paint, an interesting thing to do is practising how to make colour fade, what turned out amazing while doing this fade technique was perfectly smoothing the colours out and making light colours without grabbing a whole different bottle to make colours light. 

I randomly just drew something in this artwork. I was going to draw a face but sadly mucked up on the buns on her hair. What I did whilst this was ruined, I tried to basically draw mother nature in my own image almost dying from planet earth because of how badly we can treat it. 

This artwork I decided to draw a tree because it related to a theme I chose which was environment. I tried to use colours from the complementary colour wheel, basically I tried to fade three different coloured trees to match the wheel colours including the ground and the leaves.

This was very complicated to make, I wanted to mix both the images above drawing my mother nature image and the trees relating to the environment theme. I wanted to make her hair blowing to the left with branches dying for the mess we had made during the last decade. I drew nature on her face, talking about what she wanted the earth to look like and stay like, with the greens tears running down her eyes she is losing blood and is hurt.

To make sure I only drew these images in my own images, these don't have to be true, I just wanted to create art to relate to the chosen theme (Environment).
