Concentration #3

Progress: I guess you could I say that I dabbled with the sharpie pen, quite literally ( har har).  

As you can see, I began drawing diamonds/ parallelograms in the shape of trees... Even though I didn't use a lot of texture, I added some by using white acrylic paint, which in all honesty is equivalent to white- out because it cleans up the image so nicely.  Then, to balance out all the white in the background I stippled ( dotted) swirls into the background. 

Concentration #2

After spending more time thinking about my concentration topic than actually doing it, I finally found a topic idea that simplified my original idea.

 As I mentioned before, I full heartily thought I would do my concentration pieces based off of Pakistan truck art, then I thought about applying truck art, patterns and such, to nature: mountains, trees and etc. However after my first concentration piece, I found it extremely hard to do that and make them look like finished, (especially with water color).


Based off of my first concentration I've decided to base my concentration pieces off of trees. Why?  
Trees are beautiful in both complex and simple ways, and regarding artistic style there is so much you can do with trees.


Trishna Keiman:




Even though my piece looks nothing like Keiman's, I was very much so inspired by her color, and texture. However, I approached the texture in a less smooth essence.
