20 hour Drawing Proposal
While reading and studying each of these artist styles of
painting, I have understood more about myself and what I like to see created
with certain mediums. Alex grey pays extreme attention to detail and every
piece has simple figures drawn in; mostly human bodies, then he paints them in;
down to the anatomy while incorporating the visuals he has had from LSD and DMT
trips. His style is very unique and it draws attention to every corner of the page.
I really want to use his style of detail with patterns and possibly the anatomy
as whole. David walker creates a portrait, but surrounds the images with
distinct colors and patterns that make the hair of the subject in the
portraits. Halley used basic shapes that didn’t create exciting images for me,
they were boring. I did like the color blends he used because they can somewhat
match the styles of Grey and Walker.
My project proposal will consist of an Elderly Wizard Staff
that has a lot of detail throughout the grain. At the top will be a marble with
glaring reflections “subtle”. The
bottom will split into roots of a tree that will form into the hair of the
Wizard. His face will be gestured forward “chin towards his chest and pupils
gazing below his eye-brows” with a lot of shading and wrinkles. The negative
space towards the top of the piece will be clouds. Lighting will be focusing
from the marble on the staff directing towards all four corners of the page. I
could possibly create some pattern in the sky. The Wizard is creating an image
that your brain is still the root to any creation.
I want to draw the image I have created on a 18inx20in area
of canvas or linen after I black it out with spray paint then use light pencil
gestures clarifying the image I am creating before going into detail with paint
and other mediums.
Pencil, Black-white-purple-blue spray paint, Acrylic paint,
and maybe white charcoal in some areas.
I work best with water colors but want to explore acrylic
paint since the majority of the piece will detailed in with that medium. I want
to work on this 8 hours a week outside of class and need to construct drafts
and references for facial wrinkles.
