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.
