hands

My creation was supposed to be a larger hand guiding a smaller hand over or across something. I used watercolor paint for the sky and charcoal and pencil for the trees and hands. I used line on the hands and color in the sky. I used some value but really the only value is the black in the trees and the in between values in the sky.

I used a low horizon line in the bottom of the page. My design idea never changed but the actual material ideas did. I was planning on just doing the trees in ink or acrylic but I ended up using charcoal to do the trees and the ground. I was always planning to use watercolor for the sky but I thought it was going to blend a lot more than it did.

I was trying to make it look like a larger hand guiding a smaller hand across a sky. I thought maybe it would be a parent and child type of relationship between the hands but it could be anything involving a hand guiding another hand. The project doesn't really relate to my life too much. To improve this project I would add stars to the sky, clean up the smudges, and blend the watercolor more evenly.
