What place is represented in your art?
The photo I used for my idea of place was a picture of the beach. I took this picture over the summer of 2017 in Trinidad and Tobago. Trinidad and Tobago is a small island located near South America (closest to Venezuela). When i say the island is small, it really is small. The population of the island is around 1.3 million. To give you a comparison, North Carolina has a population of 10.27 Million, and that's only a state. This place is important to me because Trinidad is where my mom was born. Most of here family is still located on the island, so every time I visit, I always enjoy getting in touch with my relatives. I visit the island 5 times in my life, and i can honestly call it my home from home. What did you find the most challenging about the picture about the picture you picked? For me, the most challenging part of my piece was the water. It took multiple attempts to get the perfect shade of blue, and it still isn't perfect What do you feel is most successful about your piece? I think that the clouds in my painting was the most successful part of my piece. I believed that the color I chose and the effects I provided on the clouds were spot on. What was the process for your piece The process on creating my painting wasn't relatively long. First i decided to start of with making the background. I chose a semi-light blue to represent the sky. Next, i started to make a green to represent the backdrop of my piece. I dotted the paper with light pressure in order to get the leafy effects of the trees. Then, i got started on making the water. Ms. Sudkamp suggested me to make a darkish blue by mixing green and blue instead of just having a standard blue. When i painted it on the canvas, it gave my piece a more realistic image of the ocean. And lastly, i created the sand. The sand took me less than 2 minutes to create. Once i painted the sand on my piece, my painting was finally complete.
