Dog 11x11

The story behind my art is I took two artists with different movements they were Henri Matisse Fauvism Art and Jackson Pollock Poured paint. I took the key points of each artists art and made my own art. I made a painting of my dog with lots of color and a poured paint background that was black and white so they would have some contract and the dog stood out.

The materials I used were water color paint, paper, regular paint, paper, and a brush pen.

First I drew the outline or sketch of the dog then I Drew over important lines with the brush pen and after I started filling the outlines with different blobs of paint so it looked good. Next I colored in his eyes and added white dots to show the reflection of the light. The last thing I did was used Jackson Pollock's method by doing a poured paint background.
