Concentration #10 - "Taking a Layer Off"So its been a pretty long time since I created this piece. Thank you Peakfest, AP Art portfolio due, and AP Art show keeping me behind on my digital portfolio posts. What I'm trying to say is I don't remember much about each piece so these last few blogs are going to be mostly reflections on the piece. ReflectionWith this piece I wanted to create a soft, delicate feel because I think the process that my dad uses to peel peaches is rather delicate. First he scores the peaches with a cross, then he boils the peaches to get the skin extra soft. After that he shocks them in a bowl of ice water for a min. and then they are ready to peel. My dad does this method because it allows him to use his hands to peel the peaches and the peel comes off all in one piece making it much faster and easier. To recreate this feeling I choose to do the piece in watercolor. I really like how the peaches turned out in this piece. It was hard to create a value change in the peach that separated the flesh of the peach from the skin that was peeling off. I like the way the bowl turned out too with the way I painted the blue over the peaches to push them back into the bowl and surrounded by water. I think the composition of the piece with the coffee maker in the back was a good idea, although I wish there wasn't that noticeable water ring in the black that made it stand out so much.
