Fall in Love

12" x 13"

In this piece, you can see that cupid is shooting an arrow at this couple during the sunset and wants them to fall in love. This project relates to my life as I have seen and read many books when I was younger about cupid as well as many movies star him as a character and i have always admired cupid.

This work was made by sketching out the people with a 6H pencil. I then painted everything and made the sunset with acrylic paint. And I finished by adding cursive in white with a paint marker to pop and add a romantic feel. This project took my a long time and the sketching process took many trials. Cupi was very hard to draw as well as his bow and arrow that took me about 5 tries just to get the right angle and shape.

I used movement, contrast, and color to make my work. I made movement by interacting the foreground and the background to add movement as well as adding movement from the arrow to the couple. I used contrast in with the black silhouette and the words, and sunset. I also added color in the background with the sunset that popped. My project evolved from an idea to a piece of art. My next steps that I might add another layer of white paint marker to make it pop more adn add another layer to the pink little hearts on the butts of the couple and cupid.
