In this painting I used complementary colors and shading to make a macro painting of a flower. I had to learn how to paint with water colors and mix complementary colors in order to give the painting more color and make it pop. This painting uses the art elements color, form, and depth. On the right side of each flower, it is significantly lighter, as the light source is coming from the left and the light on the left half of the flower is being blocked. Overall, these art elements are important because they give it depth and makes the painting more colorful.
In this painting I outlined my face, and drew and painted it in order to make a self portrait. I had to learn how to do proper proportions and shade specific parts of the face in order to make it look realistic. This painting uses the art elements line form, line and value. In the middle of the face, it is shaded under the nose and also shaded on the left side of the face, assuming the light source is on the right. Also the left side of the chin is shaded. Overall, this was probably the most difficult assignment in the class, because it applied most of the art and design elements, which all contributed to making a very realistic looking face.
