This art piece is my first oil painting. I decided to do a masquerade mask for my object. To acquire the purple and pink tones I got a purple light and put it against the mask while I took pictures. I used a dark plum color for the background and made it gradually get lighter where the light was hitting. Creating value in this piece was one of the hardest things to do because all of the colors were similar but different shades. My favorite aspect of this piece are the sparkles. To make the sparkles realistic I used black, white, and gray. Using these colors added depth and a realistic feel. However, I wish I would've done more detail with the feathers because there needs to be more depth and texture. This is probably my favorite piece because the colors are so rich and deep and it does have a realistic feel. After this project, I do want to do more oil in the future.
