Inspiration
My inspiration came from Richard Phillips artworks. He artwork brought to my mind because of the colors that has my favorite colors. In most of his artworks he includes of him and his wife planing the the guitar with his wife while she is playing the electric instrument. But the main thing that was unique about the painting was how he had decided what colors that he had chosen and made is colorful basically. I was very interesting because it did not make like match the same as the guitar that he is playing but it shows me that he likes to play the guitar with his wife and the shapes in the picture was very simple and not very fancy. |

Planning
Sketches
First SketchFor this I was showing how I struggled a lot with being trapped within myself because your look at your self and looking threw what you have been threw your life and what you are feeling like. |
Second SketchIn this sketch I was showing where the city I was born at and its Milwaukee Wisconsin in a small city. The reason I chose to do this was to tell people where I was from. |
Third SketchIn the third sketch I used my self of learning because we are learning new things almost everyday and you want to be a leader and not a follower so you show like what is right and not right. |
Process
The first thing that I did was create all three panels and gesso the canvases and make sure they were dry. I built the wooden structure, cut and stretched the canvas to size. I chose green because in the Latin community the color symbolizes hope, blue means calmness and sadness, and white is purity. After painting the background I quickly sketched the proportions of everything, just to know where to paint what color. I didn't work on the First panel first because it was the one that would take the most time. After I got a head start for the first one I did the basic white colors for the rest. I did have to go back multiple times with white paint to get the color all the same tones, since there is a colored background the white would show in some sections and darker and lighter in others spot. I then worked on the head and hair, mainly every body part that would not be clothes, because the clothes would be the color of the background. Lastly I did some last minute details and shadows to some of the clothes and tried the best that I could in my painting , as well as skin tones and hair. I did have to go over some things a couple more times because of the lighter colors I used on bottom.
Experiment
For my experimentation, I had to practice a lot of painting because I am not the best at painting things in general always been not the best at it. I did struggle of mixing the paint and blending it.I did use the shades of blue and purple. When starting to do the hair i started with the color brown to paint the the hair and then added different shades to add on a human head and face. |
