Description
Assignment: Use human, plant, and animal elements to represent an abstract concept: "Communication"
Category: Painting, Portrait/Figure, Cartoon, Children's Art
Tools: Stretch Canvas, Oil Paint, Graphite
Technique:
I drew the original picture on a sheet of paper the size of the canvas. Then I covered the back of the paper in graphite dust. After taping the paper to the canvas (graphite side down), I retraced the image with pencil again. After I removed the tape and pulled off the paper, the image was transferred to the canvas.
I then simply painted over the graphite outline in oils.
End Result:
The idea behind this one was to do an illustration for a children's book.
It's supposed to teach word association by replacing certain objects with thought bubbles and speech bubbles with the words inside.
I was actually absent for a week due to an operation (minor), so I didn't really get as much time to work with this one as I would have liked. I think the thought bubbles came out kind of messy and it looks almost TOO childish/flat/2D (I would have liked to spend more time with shading and so forth), but at least I'm slooooowly getting more control over my oils. lol.
Yes, she's watering her garden with ideas. XD
