For this piece I decided to paint an abnormal structure I saw in Mill Creek Park. What interested me was the colors and the weird look of the building. I first sketched out the outlines for the building then started painting. My favorite part about this piece is the use of colors. The blue of the roof is my favorite focal point. However I would like to add more detail in the trees and the grass. The biggest challenges were the background because it was my first time using acrylic for a scenic feel.
An all metal bridge was the main focus for this piece. I first decided to use two perspectives that were in the center because it allowed me to make the bridge proportional and look correct. I purposely only used ink in the main area because it is the center of attention and it draws the viewer in. The rest of the piece is lightly used watercolor. I did not want a detailed background to go against the bridge. I wanted to follow my style which is making things clean and simple. I used a thicker pen for some areas to make the bridge less flat. The bridge in this piece was apart of my concentration because it is in the park I used to spend my time as a child in and I would pass through it almost everyday.
This art piece is a recreation of the paddle boat and ferry dock in Mill Creek Park, which is in my hometown. This was fairly easy to do but the only challenging thing to execute was the perspective because the background was challenging and there were so many things to draw. Like my previous piece I used different colors in this but mainly in the paddle boats. I am happy with this but I would like to do more shading and tie in the colors I used in the paddle boats.
I decided to do a pen and ink and water color drawing/painting of a dam. The dam in the main picture was made up of stone, wood, and metal. I liked this object because it was hidden away from people and had an enormous amount of plants near it. I used various pen marks to create the different types of plants, I later on used different colors for them. My favorite part is the various spirts of red throughout the piece. This is probably one of my favorite pieces I have done because there's so much going on but yet it looks peaceful.
