Inspired from ¨Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains¨ by Huang

Process Portfolio~ Bao Hoang Gongwang. I was intrigued by the amount of detail Huang used
and the brush work he used to create the bold tones yet subtle
shades with only the use of ink and brush. I decided to
incorporate the textural strokes and the subtle shading into
Yellow Skies in the Sapa Fields: my piece through this inspirational piece. The textual strokes
Inspo & Planning created with the drypoint and some water color while the
shading was created entirely with watercolor. The second
inspiration stems from ¨Dwelling in the Qingbing Mountains¨
by Wang Meng. The artist uses different types of strokes to fill
up the scroll and creating the lighting and texture. The tightly
compacted strokes creates a strong sense of nervous and
serious energy to the piece. Through this piece, I wanted to
incorporate the tightly compacted strokes from the dry-point
for my rice paddies fields and the similar shading to my piece.

Looking at the inspiration, I immediately thought of nature

and elegance. So I decided to go with the theme of nature in
the traditional sense. My first sketch was of the scenery of the
Sapa Mountains in Vietnam, The original pieces had a very
deep serious energy that enraptured the viewer's attention
and awe them as well, I want my piece to be able to do that as
well. For the second sketch was of the royal poincianas. I

One of my most complicated
project to date. First, I put the
untouched print making plate
on top of my sketch and taped
it down, so that I could
carve/transfer the sketch.
Before I start to apply ink on
my plate, I soaked the
watercolor paper that I will be
printing on into a bucket of
water for 8 minutes.Then I
start to apply Akua oil base ink
on my carved plate with a
plastic palette knife.
Afterwards I spread the ink
evenly with the squeegee,
making sure it had just enough
ink to cover the lines. After
covering the whole plate with
ink, I begin using small piece
of paper to clean off the ink in
circular motions. I placed my
inked plate on the printing
press, and my soaked
watercolor paper on top of the
print. After, I put down the
felt fabric on top of my piece
and start rolling the printing
press slowly. Which then
successfully transfered my
image.
My experimentations were mostly Yellow Skies in the Sapa Fields:

how I wanted to use watercolor on

turned out incomplete as it lacked
ink at the bottom of the piece. The
ink was still a bit too light and
sadly the bottom did not print at
all. While some prints were heavy
and dark, as my failure to clean
the plate well caused excessive ink
to be left on the final print causing
the right side to be smudged with
excessive ink. For the watercolor
process, it was very time
consuming but the most
rewarding process. I used my
failed prints to test out how I
would like to lay down the colors
on the print. My first try failed as I
used too much water and not
enough blending. I really liked

me playing around with the ink and how much ink I
used each time I printed my block. I tried to see how
different amount of inks would make the print different
from each other. I also experimented with where I put
ink on as well, to see how this would impact the
print. For my first print, I wanted to experiment and test
how dark and how much contrast I wanted for my print.
So for the first one I applied a lot of ink so that it was as
dark as it could be, and spread it evenly throughout the
block. However it seemed like I didn't put enough ink at
the edge of the block which is why there is some fading

 My theme inspiration for this art piece would be Pho, the
representative food from Vietnam. Pho holds a lot of significance Pho’cked
to Vietnamese culture and its people. The birth of the origin of Inspiration & Planning
pho is unknown, as the first appearance of a pho vendor was in
1910 in the Technique du Peuple Annamite (Mechanics and Crafts
of the People of Annam, 1908–1910). But it can not be denied that
Pho was created through the influences of France and China who
had colonized Vietnam. Pho holds a special meaning to
Vietnamese people from both the homeland and abroad. In the
homeland, pho was a food that helped many get through the
starvation from the war. While for the Vietnamese refugees
abroad, the dish contains their reminiscences of their homeland
and what they left behind.

Thiếu Nữ Bên Hoa Huệ, 1943.

I was mainly inspired by Georgina Luck and the
commission that she did for a food chain, "Roll'd". Georgina
Luck is a watercolor illustrator who is known for her food
pieces. I was deeply drawn into the vibrant and watercolor
illustration that the artist used to tell the story of the food.
I love the idea of backstory of how the food was made and
the heritage is combined in the piece.
Although I love Luck's ideas
on the piece, I wasn't able to
connect with how she
schemed out the colors that
she used in her
commissioned piece. So for
my piece I plan to use To
Ngoc Van's representative
saturated hues and warm
tones to incorporate with my
piece. Through this I hope my
piece would have more unity
instead of the stark contrast
like in Luck's piece.

Since I was using watercolor, I was thinking to
either use food or scenery as a theme. My first
sketch was inspired by the famous Vietnamese
landscape at Ha Long Bay. For this sketch, I
planned to use a blue grayish pallete in order to
convey the richness of the culture and the
serenity of nature. However, the piece was not
selected as I did not have drypoint materials that
could bring out the piece to the potential it has.
Inspired by Luck’s piece, in my 2nd sketch I wanted to show the depth of Vietnamese culture and food
through more modern media such as watercolor. This sketch was chosen as it suited the materials I had and
the theme. In my 3rd sketch, I also had a similar theme to my second sketch. Which was painting a collage of
Vietnamese food that I have ate growing up, with nine foods in mind. However the idea was not chosen, as it
was rather time-consuming and the demand for details at a smaller size was quite difficult for me.
 Pho’cked
Process,Experimentation,Reflection I started off by taping my paper with
masking tape so that the border of the
paper is clear of any excess paint. I made sure
that I am using the side that I prefer which is
the hairer side of the paper since I plan to
build up the color. Then I transferred my
sketch on to my paper. I started painting the
bowl of pho first and then went out to the
things that are around the bowl. After
finishing the foreground, I mixed the color for
the background which was blue. I decided to
not paint the whole background blue but
instead only a selected section.Then I started
to outline the details with my artist pen. So
that the pieces can stand out by itself and not
overwhelm each other.Lastly, I peeled the
masking tape off and signed my name at the
bottom.
The second technique was a bit better as it was
able to reproduce the marbling look that real
beef have.The color of this practice piece was
the best out of all the pieces as well, it was not
too blood red but yet too brownish where the
meat is burnt. However the different layers
didn't blend in as well.
My experimentation of this piece was mainly me trying to
see how to recreate the texture of food and recreating the
color through watercolor. I had never painted food before so
it was quite hard for me to get the food to have that texture
and different gradient of color that regular food would have.
I tried out three different techniques to see which one would
help me produce a product as realistic as the real thing. For
the first technique, i just tried to get that normal buildup of
just two layers of watercolor. I applied a light base and then
continue adding another darker layer of watercolor paint on
top of it. The results ended up quite horrible as it looked like
a burnt piece of meat which was something I don't want.
The third technique was my most favorite, as
the different layers of the watercolor worked
well together to create that look of texture and
lighting of the meeting. This was the technique
I used for my final piece. Overall this piece met
my expectations of the aesthetic, I think I did a
good job with using watercolor and expressing
the aesthetic of the food and the textures that it
brings to the dish. I was a bit disappointed in
the things that I could have picked to represent
the heritage and history part of my culture.

My first inspiration for the piece is Cindy Sherman and her
self-portrait that talk about female empowerment and the
subjections of females. I was drawn to the various ways that
Sherman depicts her female subject from the showcasing
the empowerment they have to the fragility that they are
suppressed into. With such inspiration in mind, I wanted

The second shot helped me establish the angle and
framing of my photo series. Although I was inspired by

I decided to angle myself a bit lower than the subjects in

someone else, I had to spent a bit of time testing the
angle where I want to take the picture. It was hard
finding the angles as there were three different
subjects and they all have a look of their own . I tried
various angles from placing them slightly to the
right of the frame, to bending down in order to get
that overcast look from the natural sunlight. It was
hard placing the angles as depending on where I
took the the pictures, the sunlight cast over the
models differently and highlight different parts
everytime. But in the end I was able to find a proper
angle for all of them while still framing them in the

I go through a heavy editing phase as there are a lot of pictures and a lot
of details to edit. I go through around one hour of editing for each photo
as I have to switch to different editing apps in order to get the photo to
how I envision it. The editing included color correcting small details,
cropping and lighting fixes.

In addition, the editing took a big chunk in the process. I
had to edit the saturation and vibrancy of the photos a
lot since that was my focus of my series. I had to
experiment with different editing apps since they are all
free and work different from each other. For the
micro-details such as making the pupil more brown-ish
and editing the extra strands of hair flying, I used
PhotoPea as the editor. While for the saturation and
vibrancy I used PicsArt as it helped create more
saturated colors while leaving the subject only so that
their skin stay the same. I used the contrasting tools a lot
in order to help the fabric in the respective photos stand
out.

Process,Experimentation,Reflection
I experimented on adding texture to the
photographies through the fabric that is incorporated
to each piece. I had to play the pattern and texture of
the fabric that were respective to their culture. Each
of the represented culture have a different kind of
pattern, with different textures, they all had different
attributes so they didn't work the same under the
same lighting. I had to experiment placing the fabric
in different position and lighting in order to find the
perfect place for each of the subjects.

The final products came out very nice, I loved the overall saturation and emotions conveyed
in the pictures. The theme of empowerment was a bit loss because of the poses that were
depicted by the models, but the appreciation and acceptance of one's culture can be seen
and felt. The physical aesthetics of the photos made up for the theme as the saturated and
vibrant colors brought each pictures to life. The bright colors bought into the photo by each
culture featured made the picture unique and stand out from each other. The techniques
influenced by Bennett Stevens can be seen in almost all the photos, with the subjects in
mostly the centre and the use of lighting/nature to frame the subject. Although my framing
would can be considered mediocre compared to Stevens as he have professional tools and
experience, while mine only consist my IPhone 11 that I do limited things with, the features
of Stevens work can be seen in mine.
 The American Dream
Inspiration & Planning
My idea came from the movie Parasite, a 2019 thriller and
suspense movie that talks about the difference of social
class in society and how even though the classes depends
on each other to survive, one class gets better priveledges
compared to the other. I really liked how the lighting was
used in the movie as the director Bong Joon-Ho uses the
imagery of stairs, lighting and water to highlight such class
divisions. Bong uses sunshine lighting to reflect on the gap
between the rich and poor, in the movie the upperclass
family's house were at a rich area in a highland with
abundant amount of lighting; while the poor family who
lived in a semi-basement in the lowland have only specks
of sunshine that shine through their window
Bang Joon-Ho, Parasite, 2019
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/
My first sketch was one inspired by the
Arnolfini portrait, and I wanted it to
depict the opposites between two
genders and the difference in power
dynamic that they have. I was inspired by
the posture of the couple in the original
portrait, but in the end this was not
chosen as I could not elaborated on the
message of the sketch and I was more
intrigued in the ideas behind my other
sketches.
My other sketch was inspired by the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. I
wanted to depict the same theme of rich and poor opposites between the
two once again. I wanted to use the posture in the iconic painting to depicts
such gap, but in the end it was not chosen as the final piece.
My other inspiration was "American Gothic" by
Grant Wood, a painting that I saw during my
trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. Painted by
Wood in 1930, the painting is a classic example
of Regionalism Art; an art movement that
defied the European abstract art at the time. I

painted very solemnly and have their faces

composition of the two

 The American Dream: Gouache
Process,Experimentation,Reflection
This was my first time using gouache so I had a lot of difficulty finding a method of blending
as although it's similar to acrylics and watercolor, the blending component of the medium is
quite different. I had to come up with different types of blending in order to have the
gouache turn out as close as I had in mind. For skin tones and fabric I used the classic
Baroque style blending to get a more dramatic shading on the skin, cloth and house. While
for the background, I used the stippling of dots to create the shading and texture for the
trees and leaves.Overall, I am quite neutral about this project. I did not entirely enjoy using
gouache as they were a bit difficult to use as the paint was more lumpy and it was hard to
mix the colors into the specific color I had in mind. I was quite upset with with the outcome
of the house as I was planning to make it more similar to the house in "American Gothic" but
was stop by my shortage of paint. I am glad that I was able to learn new skills from a new
medium like gouache though. However I did like the overall outcome of the piece as I think I
really strengthened the theme of class division can be seen more clearly compared to the
rough draft. Although the theme conveyed is not perfect but it can still be decipher, while
the inspiration of "American Gothic" can be seen as well as the color scheme from Parasite.

First, I started off by transferring the main figures

from my colored pencil illustration onto my board.I
then started to paint the human figures first. For the
figures, I began with adding a light layer of skin and
contour before using a general skin color to go over
it.. Then I went and color their clothing with the base
color, than put shading by mixing the base color with
white. After finishing the foreground I moved on to
painting the house behind the two figures, which was
a lot of blending. Afterwards I began outlining the
windows and rooftop. Then I went on to do the
background of both boards, the background was
different on both side but I still need the sky to go
from a dark gradient to a light one. Lastly, I worked
on the trees on both side and contoured the tree
barks and leaves

Thiếu Nữ Bên Hoa Huệ, 1943. To Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer I,

Ngoc Van 1903-1907. Gustav Klimt

The main inspiration behind the self-portrait is "Young Woman

by Lillies" by To Ngoc Van. The painting is one of the most iconic
paintings in Vietnamese art history, as it marked a new
movement of Modern Art in Vietnam. Modern Art in Vietnam was
created through the combination of Vietnamese aesthetics and
elements of impressionism learnt from the West. The portrait
draws my attention in many ways, from the strong saturated
hues used to the use of composition of thirds in the painting that
creates emphasis on the subject. Most importantly the oriental
sensibility attracts the viewer as the subject's figure evokes a very
strong sultry mood yet it balances out with the calmness and
delicateness from the background. My design for my outfit was
based off of Klimt's distinctive use of geometric print during his Not a sketch, but a picture that I took in order

For this project, I experimented with using and applying Gold
leaves. I have never used such medium before so I had to find
out how I wanted to apply the gold leaves and which solution
of glue I should use.
First, I used the mixture of the gold leaves glue and water as the
concentration was really thick and it smelled too intense for my
closed space. I tried applying small piece of the sheet first
instead of a big piece. I liked how the results turned out as the
small pieces together create the illusion of texture and cracks.
For the second one, I decided to put a big piece of gold leaf
and brush it off to see how it would look. Unfortunately, the
gold leaf did not hold on to the surface very well. I did not
like how it look and the texture of it as well.
Since the glue mixed with water wasn't holding well, I applied
just the glue itself on the surface before using a small piece of
gold leaf on the paper. It held on better compared to the other
glue and water mixture, however the gold leaf was still not
holding on well to the surface.
Self Portrait
Process,Experimentation,Reflection
I tried applying the adhesive on to the
painting and putting the small pieces of
gold leaves onto the painting. However,
apparently it doesn't work on acrylic surface
as the leave would not even hold on to the
canvas. So I was not able to use the gold
leaves on my painting as the adhesive did
not support it.
Overall, I am not fully satisfied with the self
portrait for many of the elements in the
paintings. My portrait seem to have lose its
appeal because of the loss of many elements
compared to Van's portrait. Such elements
includes, saturation of color, composition
and techniques in shading. I felt like I could

fetisization of Asians in America.
Which is why I depicted her in a
more submissive manner and with
no arms.
In my third sketch, I wanted to depict the standards that Asian-Americans
are subjected in just because they are from both cultures. In a way they
are held responsible in preserving their culture so that they are "unique"
but they are also expected to assimilate to Western ideals and way of life.
For this piece I was also inspired by Bao Pham and his colored pencil

Process,Experimentation,Reflection

I started off by sketching my final sketch for what I

want to put on my canva, before I measured the
canva into sections.Then I transferred my sketch on
to my canvas using the box method. I started
painting the face first and then went out to the
things that are around the face.After finishing the
foreground, I mixed the base color with a black

edges to make the painting look better
I approached it in a more graphic design way. I mixed the base colored that

For the skin aspects, since I planned for my "light source" in the painting to on the right, so in my logic most of the
shadows would be on the left side. So for the face I experimented, by putting the shadow on the right side in order to
depict the shadow that the bangs is giving the subject. However on the hand on the subject, I tried putting the shadow
along with the bottom outlined line, since it looked weird putting the on the right side of hand. The results were a bit
awkward because of so. For the clothes, I tried out the same method that I did with the skin, but it did not work out
very well, and it looks like a block of random color that just happened to be on the shirt. So I needed to come up with
something different. Since the first technique for the clothes didn't work out, I tried another one. Which was adding
the shadows color to where the creases and wrinkles on the shirt would be at. Which worked way better compared to
what I was doing on the right side of the painting. Adding shadows at the intended creases and wrinkles places,
added more texture and dimension to the pieve.

Looking back, I liked this project as it express a theme that I wanted to expressand it was something new compared to what I was doing before. The
style was more modern and leans a bit to pop-art. I am fond of the the theme, as it was something that is prevalent in the world right now and
there is countless news to it. I felt like I could have made the illustration more "offensive" and 'gruesome" looking in order to express the theme
more, however I still like how it currently look like. The presentation aspects is very nice, the primary colors combination works really well and
stands out along with each other. The mask as the finishing touch, as it really became the focus of the piece since the dimension in the painting is
quite flat. The outlined from Stoffels really pulled the whole painting together, but the color came out more saturated then the inspired piece.

Inspo & Planning

Something that I wanted for all my possible design was something call a
¨Donut¨ outlet that can let any plug be used in it. In this way, it can be use
internationally (since different regions of the globe uses different plugs)
and maximize the use of my design, so that people don´t have to buy
different extension cords because of such a small problem.

My inspiration for this project was to be able to create an ideal

extension cord or outlet that would be able targeted to everyday
families in America and families in underdeveloped countries as well.
For this project, I used my family as the family model that I would
want to design the plug for and asked them what are some everyday
problems that they encounter with the extension cords or outlets.
Then I began laying out a map that would help this product become
the ideal plug/ cord for a family.

Through this interview I was able to learn more electricity problems that occurs in underdeveloped countries like Vietnam from my aunt. In
underdeveloped countries, electricity outlets or plugs can be quite harmful for children and kids . The fact being that since in underdeveloped
countries many of the houses and it´s layout can not support electricity properly or safely. So most of the time, whenever contact is made with
electricity outlets, there is high possibility of being electrocuted which very dangerous to babies and children. So I want to be able to make this
extension plug/cord ¨baby proofed¨ so that possibilities of such problems will decrease. My final design was inspired by Apple and it´s design of
the ¨Homepod.¨ I had always love Apple´s designs in its products, I love the modern yet sleek look that the product have. Although it is very simple
and minimalist yet the technology is very complex. I want my design to reflect such elegance in it as well. What intrigued me to the ¨Homepod¨
was it´s shape and the possible things that I can make it into instead of just a smart speaker.
 MIAD
Inspo & Planning
My first idea was to create a ¨click-able¨ extension cord. I
was inspired by mechanics of LEGOS and wondered if I
would be able to tied that mechanics into my extension
cord.It basically was an extension cord that had the ability
to add or take away how may plugs there is, until it is at
max point of safety. Since the plugs are able to lock in and
out to one another, I designed it so it would be able to
rotate 180 degrees so that it would be easier for the user. In
addition, the cable wire of the extension cord shall be
retractable as that would be more neat and organized.

Putting our instructor Murf´s word in mind of thinking

outside the box and explore the different shapes that certain
things can be, I was inspired to create this other extension
cord. Inspired by the Apple design of the ¨Homepod¨
designed by the Apple designer team, I based the shape of
this idea similar to that of the ¨Homepod ¨ For this idea I
was thinking of a wireless extension cord, where the
portable sockets are charged on the wireless charging pad
and can be used separately.

For the first part of this overall project, I made a planning board. I started off by
Process,Experimentation,Reflection
creating a Point of View (POV) map. I interviewed my family and asked them
what they would want in a new extension cord. Then I created an empathy map
that listed things I heard, things I saw, feeling, thoughts and stories all
mentioned during the interview. Using the things they told me, I created a mind
map and a couple of planning sketches to show all of the possible ideas on the
possibilities. I scanned all my sketches and papers. Next I opened up Photopea
and created a new document with the required dimensions. Then I began
transferring my POV statement, Empathy map and Mind map from my scans
onto the board first. I used the free transform option to resize and move the
imagine around. I repeated this for the rest of my sketches and played around
with the program to set up the board the way I want it to be. Then I saved the
document as a Photoshop document and a JPEG and uploaded it onto a flash
drive. Plugging the flash drive into the printer, I then print the document onto a
bigger poster.After printing, I trimmed the poster down so it fits the board.
Lastly using spray adhesive I mounted my print onto foam core.

My experimentation of this project was mostly me trying to comprehend how to use professional editing sites
such as Photoshop and Photopea. I spent most of the time figuring which button does what and what to click to
make the program do what I want it to do or editing the pictures so that the sketches can be seen nicely since
sometimes the scanner goes a bit too light. So I had to darken the picture and add more contrast so tha t the
sketches I drew will stand out more. I try to edit the pictures so that they all match and matches the white
background as possible without whitewashing the own photo. Overall, I think I did a pretty good job especially
with coming up with a new extension cord that could meet all my requirements for an ¨ideal extension cord¨

while still solving my problem.The design chosen for next semester pleases me as well as I think I did a good job of making it
look aesthetically pleasing and practical as well. For my photo-shop job, I have mixed feelings about it as I like the color
scheme, how I edit my photos and the top layout of the board, but I felt like I could have done more on the bottom part as it is a
bit empty. So I could have made the images larger or add more things into the board. My edited photos however came out
pretty nice as I spent the majority of the time editing them, so I am quite proud of them. The mounting however, if I were to be
honest, could have been done way better. I focused too much in lining the printed poster and board in one area that I forgot
about the other so the poster had some paper poking out on the sides. So I had to trim some excess paper.

My main experimentation for this piece would be the plastic used for the power strip and the struggles in trying to make the
plastic carton bend in the way I wanted it too. I first began by trimming the middle of where I want it to bend. Since it is the
middle, it is very sturdy, so I had to do a hefty amount of cutting and trimming. However, even though when I have almost cut
through the whole carton it still didn't bend the way I wanted so then I had to think of an alternative. So then I decided to cut the
24 socket carton into two, so that I have two 12 socket carton left. I then brainstormed of what should I put in between these two

disappointed with the outcome of this project as the handicraft of the piece could have done better then using plastic egg
cartons. But as the pandemic threw us off, it was the best material that I got at hand. I was very happy with creative process as I
was able to add additional aspects to my coord that differentiate it to existing extension powerstrip. I am pleased to see how the
extension powerstrip branched out to be targeted for average families instead of just families who wanted to protect their
babies from electricity. If possible I would like to make a better prototype of the recent prototype with better materials then egg

I started off by taping my paper with masking tape so that the
border of the paper is clear of any excess paint. I made sure that
I am using the side that I prefer which is the hairer side of the
paper since I plan to build up the color. After I measured the
paper in order to draw my panels in an even manner. Then I
transferred my sketch on to my paper. I began painting the base
of the pieces first with water color. As I finish laying down the
base of watercolor, I go back with color pencils and add the
shading details on to the piece.Then I started to outline the
details with my artist pen. So that the pieces can stand out by
itself and not overwhelm each other. Lastly, I peeled the
masking tape off and signed my name at the bottom.
XXX8, One Future, Three Gen
Process,Experimentation,Reflection
My experimentation of this piece was mainly me trying to successfully use
both watercolor and color pencil in the piece, as I have never incorporated
the two medias together. I had to experiment with diluting the watercolor
paint so that the color was not more intense than the color pencil that will go
over the base. But mostly I experimented the most with color pencil
techniques that was used for the details.
For the first technique, I just tried to get the buildup of the base watercolor,
and three different shades of green which included; olive, emerald and
shamrock green. The results turned out quite nice, however it was very
time-consuming and seemed to work best when used for darker bamboos.
For the second technique, I just used a simple layer of the watercolor base
and one shade of green to add details to the bamboos. I specifically used
emerald green to shade the plants, and shade them using different pressure
on the pencil. This was the technique that I mainly used on the piece as it
was easy to master and not as time consuming compared to the two other
methods.
For the third technique I tried, I used a build up of the base and olive green,
a bumblebee yellow, and some coffee brown to highlight the details of the
plants. I decided to use these three colors as they all compliment each other
and are quite earthy so I thought the combination would turn out well. This
method was quite hard to use as lots of effort is needed in order to blend the
three different color together and need to be used correctly in order to let
the bamboo have the correct bamboo. If not blended well it would make the
plant look stark and awkward, yet when mixed properly together it turns out
well.
Overall this piece failed to meet my expectations of aesthetic, but it is a very theme
driven piece. It did a good job with expressing the theme of the piece through the idea of
the panels. The theme of the piece really shined through the three different photograph
style for each set of panel. I can see the three different struggle. I was a bit disappointed
in the character that I designed and the execution of the character/ As it was quite
underdeveloped and there was no consistency on theme.

Process,Experimentation,Reflection
I started off my making my canvases and putting
them together. I did this by first assembling the
wood, then went on to stretch the canvas and
laying my wood on top, then after the canvas was
cut I stapled the canvas to the wood. Lastly to
assemble my canvas I out gesso on it to make
sure it was ready to be painted on. Then I
transferred my sketch on to my canvas using the
box method. I started painting the face first and
then went out to the things that are around the
face. After finishing the foreground, I mixed the
color for the background and then filled it in.
Lastly, I cleaned up my edges to make the
painting look better.
For this project, I experimented mostly on painting flowers especially
roses, as I had never painted roses before. I needed to find a technique to
paint roses that could show the highlights and the texture of the petals.
Through out the project for the roses, I typically use a small flat brush in
order to achieve the certain texture and blending.
My first plan was to paint all the petals on the flower to be the same color
before going in again with white paint to highlight the different petals and
differentiate them from each other. It worked pretty well as there was
texture and highlight in the flower. I ended up using this technique for my
painting.
My second attempt was starting a blob of red paint, then start shading
the petals with a darker shade of red, and highlighting the petals with
white afterwards. This technique didn´t work out nicely as it was too
time consuming to make the highlights on the petal to stand out more.
For the last technique, I tried alternating the colors
on the petals with either dark red or red. Afterwards
I would go in with white to create texture in the
middle of the petal and shade a darker red into the
lighter red petals. I didn´t do with this one as although the petals outside
looked really nice, it was hard to paint the bud on the inside. Theme
wise,which was to showcase how traditional beliefs of how woman must get
married despite now in modern times women can live independently, I got the
theme down with the use of the traditional Vietnamese wedding dress that the
subject is wearing and the roses that are suffocating her. Basing off of my
inspiration, my use of female subject seems quite lacking compared to
Mucha´s, so I will have to come back to the background and add in some
details such as Mucha´s, and for the patterns that were based after Klimt´s can
be emphasized more if I were to add them on the top of the dress.
