Creative Color Design

The subject of my creation is a dolphin leaping out of the ocean, and I made this work using an image of a dolphin jumping out of water as a reference, and the utensils that I used in this project was acrylic paint and sharpie. I chose to create this specific artwork because Dolphins are my favorite animal and I wanted to do an ocean themed artwork for a project this year.

I used techniques in my paint like tints and shading...I did different tints of blue, red, and orange and I did a shade with the color of blue I also mixed green and blue to get a teal color and I made shades and tints for that color as well. I didn't change much in my project other than the background I was planning on making it just shades of teal and blue but then I changed my mind and made it a sunset themed color.

The only meaning that I have behind my project is what I said before my favorite animal is a dolphin and I just really enjoy doing ocean themed drawings. I don't think this project can relate to my life in anyway other than what I said before, but I have seen dolphins face to face so I have seen them jump out of the water. I think my artwork can be stronger in color wise, I got really stumped on what colors I should use and not use and where they would look good...so I ended up using less colors than I wanted to use. But other than that I think it came out pretty good, but if I had the chance I would remake this project and make it stronger.
