CHAPTER 7 : Project 2

Project 2 : Developing a Shorthand

Stage 1 : Drawing Shapes
Stage 2 : Colour Notes and Numbered Tones
Stage 3 : Assessing Your Information

Unfortunately I haven't taken any scans of any of those stages so I have to start from Stage 4 which is a painting.

Stage 4 : Painting

This time I started from a very dark brown base then stage by stage I was adding some more bright colours.

Stage 5 : What have you Achieved?

This project  was different from the rest that I have done so far. Definitely I used my skills to describe the tones of the objects and making quick decisions about them. As you may see I started from the darkest parts and then adding some lighter and finishing with just light tones. The composition is open from the right side. I decided to stand on my bed to look from above to make the composition more interesting where the ironing board looks bit smaller and points on the right directions, but not on very straight line.

Colours are limited with a large amount of white paint.

I used acrylics for this task

 If I use this way of recording information about objects for future paintings, that will give me only simple clues and will live a lot of space for my imagination.
