Surrealist Magazine Painting

In this creation I decided to do the ocean and land side by side and I chose an animal for each to represent it which is a whale and a lion. I made this work with acrylic paint and used pencil lightly underneath the paint to sketch out what I wanted to do for this project. I chose to create this specific artwork because I really enjoy drawing animals and I want to work on getting better at drawing animals so I plan on making a lot of my artwork based of animals if I can.

I used blending as a technique for this artwork same with shading, I used a lot of the blending in the whale and its background, same with the lion and its background. My project didn't evolve I wanted to keep the plan that I first created because I really liked the idea of it and was excited to paint it.

The meaning behind my artwork is that I really like animals and I enjoy being able to paint them as how I see them. Especially if I'm trying to get a point across to people like with my Doodle for Google I got a point across about the ocean, and I would like to continue doing that with my artwork. My project relates to my life because of the inspiration a get from animals and I like to share that with others. I think my project is pretty good but I think my lion could be stronger but I did have a beautiful oops moments with the lions face and I tried my best to fix it and I do think it looks better but it could definitely be stronger!
