My Art project for the final project is going to be the genre of still life. The type of art will be in painting and the media will be oil paint. The artist's that inspired me were Karen Appleton and Trisha Adams who both do still life and paint in oil paint. Karen Appleton work mostly revolves around bows and presents and the way she draws goes on a bit thick but not to much. Her shading follows a bit of the color scheme on the wheel which is Analougus. Karen Appleton does do a bit shading with different shades that might not go a lot with other colors but mostly they do. Trisha Adams makes the painting really thickly painted and has a lot of coats of oil paint. Her shading techniques are using different colors for shading they do not always match the other colors in the painting, but the ways she puts it our eyes do the blending. Trisha paints mostly flowers and uses different colors to make the painting vivid and bright and by adding a lot of paint the painting blends well and even though the colors might not go well together she makes them look good. Both do there work on canvas which make there techniques look good since canvas is good to do oil painting on. My inspiration was a orchid flower and I want to draw it purple or white. I want to draw it white because it means pureness and innocence and or purple which is one of my favorite colors. Another way for me to paint it would be purple with white highlights of shading to include both colors. Another inspiration I have is painting beauty stuff like a lipstick or perfume because it makes up who I am and I love make-up and beauty. I also though of putting a pack of cigarettes or a ashtray with a cigarette to show how life is fragile. The image would represent how by putting cigarettes there the flower will eventually die causing such a beautiful creation to end.
