Concentration #11 (11x14) - Cooked PeachesIt is werid to do these pieces out of order when I am trying to explain the process of why I choose the 4 steps to canning for each series. This is piece 3 out of 4 for the peaches series and its hard to explain how I got there when I haven't even done the other two pieces that come before it in the series. My dad tends to jar sliced peaches and peach jam, so I decided to highlight a part from each process. For the sliced peaches I am going to do the part where my dad boils the peaches and peels the skin of them, and for the jam I am painting when the peaches are getting cooked into the jam so they can be canned. When looking at my reference pictures I decided I like the bowl of peaches from one and the pot with the cooked peaches in the other. I did a couple of sketches to get an idea of how the composition would look before I went to paint it. Since I am behind in pieces I decided to paint this one in acrylic.....That was a BIG mistake ( I really don't like acrylic) ReflectionOverall I think the piece turned out ok, but I really didn' t like using acrylic paint so it makes it harder for me to like this piece. I think the porportions might be a bit off since I compiled tew different pictures together so it leaves room for the composition to get distorted. With that said I really like the colors of the piece I tried to simplify the colors so it wasn't overwhelming and keep the hues similar so nothing stood out too much. My favorite part of the piece is the sliced up peaches in the bowl, I love the colors and textures so much.
