So in Viz Dev, we're transitioning into color. So, we were assigned to bust out our old acrylics and everything else that goes along with it, including the big painting trays and marker pads/vellum and go landscape painting. He stressed the importance of value, hue, and saturation...along with composition, color temperature, and depth elements. Basically, it boils down to light properties and how they "display" or translate color information.
Anyways, these are two paintings from a park near my girlfriend's house. I was focusing mostly on matching the values and trying to get the images to read, as far as creating depth and form/volume. I enjoyed doing these a lot, and I actually feel like I'm making progress. It felt just a little awkward painting(as opposed to just simply sketching) on a park bench and having a bunch of random people passing by casually looking over my shoulder. But then again, I can't blame them...I mean, how often do you see people painting OUTSIDE of a studio? Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the way these came out. Surprisingly, Ruben says that the first painting is pretty successful considering how much trouble I was having. So it's cool, I guess. There will be more to come soon enough. Enjoy!
