In Progress Photos
This piece was not my favorite. It was my second acrylic piece, so I didn’t have much experience with the medium. I picked this subject because I was going around my house trying to find ordinary objects when I came across this in my room. I thought the composition came out good in the photo, so I decided to use it. The hardest part for this project was blending the values together for the cup and handles of the brushes. Since acrlyic dries so fast, I had to use a different technique to blend the colors. It was very hard to do, and still can improve. I do like how the brushes on the cup came out. I intended them to come out very strokey, so that has to be my favorite part. It was hard finishing it because I didn’t like it, so I no ambition to finish it. If I were to do it again, I would spend way more time using more midtones, and adding some highlights into the brushes. If I had time at the end of the semester, I would add more to this to make the finished piece turn out better. I defenitly will be doing future projects in oil since it’s way easier to blend the values.
