Some Of My Own...

     After looking at some of these images that are in a pop art kind of style, this inspired me to create my own pieces of work. I used some images I found to give me ideas for colour and the designs for them.



     This is one of the images I created. I really like the colours I have used because the mix of pinks and purples work really well together.  The colours in this painting are meant to go from dark at the bottom fading to lighter shades at the top. However, especially while painting the body, this was easier said than done! I found the acrylic paints I used were too think even when I watered them down. It was very hard to create a gradual change in colour. Next time I will use something easier to work with like water colour paints.


     I painted this image also using acrylic pains. I think this one was successful but again i had the trouble with the acrylic paints being too thick. I thought they would be fine to use as i was just doing block colour, and it worked everywhere except for the dark purple figure. It was hard to make the colour look smooth and even all over.
     I painted this image because I thought i was quite an unrealistic figure of a pregnant woman. However, I do really like the style of this image and i will work more into this kind of work.
