Covid 19 response

This is my respond to the Covid 19 project, its called the Mask. The subject is a hand dangling a mask on one finger. Its based off of the situation that is going on in the world, people are wearing face masks to protect themselves from the virus. I chose to create this specific work because this is connected to the covid19, since masks are todays new essentials.

For materials, I used oil pastels. I used a variety of techniques and methods including: like smudging the texture to create the blurry effects. While creating this work, I paid close attention to the marks on the hand and the mask, so the rough texture of the paint can show more details for the object.

I wanted my artwork to look rough and kinda like a flashback idea so I start in the middle of the paper but instead of using a boarder I smudged out the negative space and made it fade out. To add interest to my composition, I used balance and color blocking by making the object center on the paper and purposely not coloring the rest of the paper. However, I struggled with getting use to using oil pastel, If I created another work like this I might learn how to mixed colors before I start. My work shows that I can focus on one object only.
