I'm a RebelYeah, so I was supposed to do the project nature turns mechanical, but I have already done that and I didn't like it one bit. I decided that I wasn't going to bother with doing the project at all this time. Instead I thought since I can't pick which concentration I wanted to I'll do one project from each. One of my ideas was telling the story of my dogs life. She is a hurricane Katrina puppy so I wanted to tell they story from there. The only issue I had is that she is a rescue puppy so she came in a truck to a local pet rescue so I never saw where she was. I know that she probably wasn't all by herself since she had a sister but I had an idea to convey a specific mood in the piece with the composition and color choice. Going to back to me not knowing where she came from means I don't have any reference pictures of her. This piece was going to be made by compiling a whole bunch of pictures together to get the composition I want. I had an idea of having my dog in a deserted street that is completely destroyed by hurricane Katrina. I did quite a few rough sketches to get an idea what this might look like, then I thought it would look good if she was sitting on a boat in a flooded street, but the angle I drew I didn't like and then scraped the whole idea instead. ProgressSince I didn't have any reference pictures I knew the piece was going to be more cartoon like than realistic. I didn't mention earlier in the post but I knew I wanted to do a watercolor piece so I based the project off the look of the watercolors. As I was fooling around with the sketch of the hurricane and the puppy I played around with different shades of brown and blue. I liked the color combo, so I thought I would limit my palette to blues, browns, and grays. By doing this I was hoping to create a tone of sadness/blueness if you will; to show the harshness of hurricane Katrina. Like the landscape project, this one fell into an awkward time period so it took a while to find times to work on the piece. I liked the initial sketch I had on the paper because it was more realistic. As I started painting I quickly learned how terrible the watercolors I was using were. Unlike the pieces I had done in the past with the watercolors I was looking for darker and solid colors since I wanted to embrace the cartoon look. That's when I noticed the chalkyness of watercolors and all the brushstrokes on the paper. This frustrated me and caused me to become reluctant to finishing the project. I decided to fill in the areas with solid colors rather than trying to add texture with harsher shadows. I still didn't like the way the piece was turning out, so I added the black lines to make things stand out more. The outlines made me like the piece better and help the piece come together.
