Second project

As my last project focused on the light and dark of the image i wanted to carry this on through my next project. so i looked at images that portrayed the light and darkness of the photos.


I wanted to incorporate a range of colours in to this so i looked at fauves, to give me some ideas of how i could use colour in my end result. These images caught my eye as the use of colour that had been use stood out and created a different effect, than just sticking to just three colours.

I copied the fauves images in blue and green biro and in some places black biro.


However i looked at the possiblity of just using a pallet with a range of shades of brown, also white and black. I used acrylics for this painting.













For some art history to portray the llight and dark aspect of the painting i looked at Joseph Wright of Derby and did some pencil sketches of his work. Many of his painting were situated around a table and there was many different situation around a table that had been captured, for example the on in the picture on the left is his experiment on a bird in an air pump.

Some of my own photos

Overall i came up with this final image of two people in conversation and the third looking disinterested. I painted this final image in acrylics but i dont think that it turned out as well as my other images and it started to look slightly better when i went over part of it in oils. Also it took many coats of the acrylics as the focus of light and dark wasnt as strong as i would have liked so this resulted in me having to add many layers of paint to the canvas.
