luna sketch + themes i want to paint on her

Gustav Klimts paintings are the basic idea of this luna's portrait. I want to study the color composition that klimt prefered to use. Not only the compostion of the colors but also the pattern and the stroke techniques will be the main part I will be seeking and observing.

color pencil drawing is very fun... as much as oil and acrylic...

Kelsey's Portrait

My 10th piece, Kelsey's portrait is painted with lots of lots of purple.

She likes purple and she looks good on purple.

The mixture of her elfish and mature personality. Or her Energetic, friendly, happy bubbly (in a good way), exciting, caring personality could be all analysed in purple.

Also I have put some green at the right top corner since she is so into outdoor activities. Riding horses, playing soccer, having picnics... I thought green would decribe those prettay well.

Jack.

My 8th piece, Jack Nachmanovitch's portrait.

His brooding personality. Shy but audacious in thought.

I described it in a very imaginary way. The stars and the purple+blue background give a dreamlike and calm feeling of the painting.

I am very sleepy at the moment so I will continue to explain about this painting tomorrow in the class.

My newest piece: Serenity. Let me know what you think. Only two more to go!!

sketch 1

The body and hair are going to fade away into the dark surroudings. I am satisfied with the sketch otherwise.

about to paint this lad.

kitty portrait. (not complete)

While Andy Warhol was inspiring me like crazy through this painting, I have spotted another great artist: Gustav Klimt.
Just like Andy Warhol, Gustav was insanely genius with the sense of colors. But his technique was more sophisticated. Unlike to Andy's simple and very straight forward one colored technique, Gustav decorated his painting with lots of different colors.
This slightly changed the appearence of my painting. Instead of painting with simple colors I decided to try some of Gustav's technique. From seeing 'The Kiss' to 'The Music II', I have noticed that he liked to use some variations of strokes like Van Gogh to emphasize the style of his painting. Therefore, I thought the yellow pattern and the polka dots would be something that Gustav would have done to my painting. Also, as I mentioned before, he never left out an area with only one color. I have put some blues around the yellows and some white, orage and purple around the polka dots.
I am going to get rid of the blue part. There are just too much things going on now. But yea, its not finished and this will be continued.

This is my 7th piece. The cropping tool is still not working, so I had to keep the black border.

These are my 8th and 9th pieces. The red one is "Flirtatious" and the eye is "Anger." Tell me what you think!

kitty portrait. (not complete)

this is kitty's portrait. she wanted a lot of pink, i painted lots of pink for the background but this is not done. not even the half-way through. This is an oil painting so its such a pain in the arse. it never dries and never dissapears. So i decided to see what other people think and paint this more carefully.

This is andy warhols painting which my painting was strongly inspired by.

Macy's Boots

Here are the two views of my fourth piece, Macy's Boots. Do the photographs work? Any suggestions for the piece? I'm pretty content with it but always open to feedback!
Thanks,
Josie

5th piece

I'm not done with this piece...It's my fifth and the happily ever after ending.  What do you think I should add?  I definitely need to finish their faces.

4th piece

This is my fourth piece, where Tam Lion is pulled off the horse by Janet.  Any thoughts?  I might make the background more dramatic with a darker color, like purple.  Should I add some pen and ink in the background, too?

5th + 6th pieces

Here are Leo and Virgo. I've got a few issues with them, but they turned out pretty good.

Let me know if I should fix anything.

Tess 4th piece

This is Cancer... I darkened the photo a bit because I really wanted to capture the whole

"night" quality. Unfortunately, cropping tool is on the fritz so I had to do a close-up.

This is my next piece: Frustration. My concerns with it are that she looks a bit like she is dancing and the emotion gets a little lost. Tell me if the emotion is truly coming through and if not what can I do to make that better?

Hi Guys!
Sorry to have missed yesterday but look forward to tues we will look at concentrations after the pledge etc. Please don't forget to be comments on your peers art. Try to critique a broad variety of classmates not just the few.
See you soon!

This is Lucy.

She is very calm, thoughtful and peaceful. She is individual and confidence.

I tried to convey these personalities through using differnt colors. 

Medium colored brown, purple and blue represent her calmness. The surrounding yellow represent her individuality. Hope it does. Oh and what a surprise, it matches up with her working place, Spendoras. 

I think the angle and face emotion show the confidence and ambition of Lucy. 

I am still not quite pleased with what I have done so far. I feel like something is missing. Her left eye didn't come out well so I am going to work on it. I kinda messed up using 2 different paints. Tempera and Acrylic. This made the painting to look bit unnatural.

Overall, the painting came out as i expected, so its good. But I def need some feedbacks in order to make Lucy happy.   

Solar System stamp

I liked the big version of this, but it didn't photograph very well...

jealousy

 Hurricane. I'm still working on it...making it less cheerful by adding grays and adding clouds/ textures. Ideas?

This is my 3rd piece, Gemini. The scene is supposed to be

very bright and sunny, so I purposely made it a little whiter than normal.

Also, the black triangle in the corner is where the paper folded down;

it is not part of the piece.

This is my finished Aries piece. 

The photo turned out a little bleached,

for which I apologize. 

Seal
