Final product - oil pastel on paper
Final product - oil pastel on paper
I think the color and the variation of mark making are successful in this piece. The colors capture the play of childhood that the still life set up represented. The smooth and rough textures of the oil pastel connect to the rigidity and movement/energy the toys in the still life had. The part of the still life I chose to focus on was the red connecting parts that read as a rollercoaster to me, I pictured the parts as strong and having right angles, but some of them curved and seemed in motion.

Charcoal and sumi ink on paper
I enjoyed using ink and charcoal together here, ink to fill up big areas and charcoal to insert precise details. I wish the ink and the charcoal had more contrast with each other and the paper, this reads as muddy grays to me.

India ink on paper
India ink on paper
The india ink was a lot of fun to experiment with, especially here with lots of color, especially warm reds, warm blues, and warm purples. This was not on water color paper so the paper reacted by crinkling and forming big drips.

Here, the overlapping of the india inks produced a lot of interesting effects on the paper. This paper was larger, and I liked the variation of the lines, even though their widths were similar. This reminds me of a skyline or fence posts. The water spot "errors" look really interesting to me. Even though the colors mixed together, they are not muddy and generated new, interesting colors.

This was also completed using india inks, green/reds are one of my favorite color pairings and I like how going from a mostly red center to more green edges gives this piece depth. Again, I like how some of the lines are more precise and others blend together.
