14. Independent (Final)

ARTIST STATEMENT:

This picture is my absolute favorite. The assignment for the project was to draw a picture, using the technique that we liked best throughout the year. My favorite this year was acrylic paint, therefore I used paint. My favorite part of this whole project is the blood splatters by the wings. I had never used this technique before, and I was a little hesitant, but it came out amazing. I just watered down some red paint, and I CAREFULLY dripped it from the spot I wanted it. One difficulty for this project was the clouds. I had to but the body up higher than I had imagined, so I had to hide the bottom somehow, and I just thought 'Clouds! Why not?'. Turns out....this was not the best idea. I had troubles making them look not flat, and I'm not over all happy with how they came out.
