Showcase

 

Showcase, there is no other word to resume our pet’s name in categorizing, which is “faithful.” Indeed the dog does not hold boundaries to protect us. It will give its life away for us. Clumsy in youth but intelligent and versatile as they age, it sounds familiar, like humans. The only reason they do not talk is that god did not want them to, but they have an emphatical That amazes me.

SHOWCASE


While traveling in Costa Rica, taking pictures of the landmarks. I noticed a dog was sitting pensively and alone. Suddenly out of the blue, a pack of eight dogs walked next to me. I was on the floor on a narrow path. Of course, I got scared and did not move. There was an alpha dog in the front. It just looked at the sitting dog. He pointed it forward with its nose, and the dog followed him.

It is fun to paint animals further, for each has a character. Unfortunately, one died while painting it, but not on my account. The pet’s name is Kelly, and she has a sad face. Remember, a dog lasted twelve to thirteen years, and she could not hold sitting for more than a minute. Sadly but true is like she’s talking to us to put her out of her misery, poor thing.

Although, the portraiture is about three pets as a gift from Jacky to her grandsons. This painting I dedicated this to Kelly. Nevertheless, the subject demands how the piece will look at the end. Then

Lastly, oil media is complicated media to manage and relies on time, because of the layers. Then daytime and nighttime provide a different mood, and finally, to give it a flowing relies upon brushstrokes to recreate its similarity.

Patterns in Art

 

First, the pattern concept is an underlying structure that organizes surfaces and structures. Consistent drawing, painting, and design are essential to achieving a structured effort in composition. It directs the eye to every single detail in an image. We live surrounded by a world with interlaced designs in different shapes. Although there is no end to it, there is a formula. Alternatively, we learn from nature in the tree’s bark and the waves when the wind blows it. Moreover, it is like looking into space to the infinite.

In the above painting, the mask shield represents different personalities. Its meaning relies on her eyes and the symbols to create clues. At times, she was very relaxed, and hence, in my opinion, I always felt that Majestic was not faithful to who she was. She made these different marriages and broke up relationships from one day to another.  UNDER

In the technical Celtic knots, broken and reconnected plaits are used repetitively. Furthermore, this approach to sketching and painting is ideal for recalling a part of the model’s roots. However, it is always the case that inspiration comes from within the subjects.

Regarding the emotions in each subject, they could sometimes be passive and others sad. Although there is a formula, breaking the system is exciting, for there is a wide range of creativity. It comes with the mood of the person. I just let their eyes take me in their psychic. The rest contain geometric shapes like triangles, cylinders, and flat planes.

In conclusion, though the shielding mask is our protector and enemy, there is no formula for it but true to ourselves.

The Art Assignment

 

The Art assignment is about portraiture, with two mediums: sculpture and oil painting.

To begin with, this is the first time in ten years I have sculpted. Likewise, This assignment is based on observation. And the object needed a slight turn. In turning, forms into planes.

Further, I recalled it took me three months to complete it. Indeed, it did require physical labor, for the plaster should be applied in even forms, and in the casting step, I broke the ears. Nevertheless, the beauty of art relies upon making mistakes and rebuilding for the better. I sculpted them with a spackle gesso, and we can not even notice it, for it looks natural.

This portrait commission came out of the blue. Therefore, I had to make room in between another portrait. It came out spontaneously gestural. Combining warm, cool colors and softening the texture turned the figure into a splash moment.

Along with the use of space, Carla’s three-quarter view approach was challenging, for measurements must be kept in mind. This is one halfway between the front, and profile pose positions.

THE ART ASSIGNMENT 

I thank Lisie for this commission. I just finished it last week and sent it to Florida. Dogs only last from ten to thirteen years. Followed by the cat is the second most popular pet owned by humans.
Sixty percent of U.S. households, or about eighty-five million families, own a pet in the USA. I’m very sure we all have the experience to share with our best friend’s pet.

To conclude, in the art assignment, I learned to meet deadlines. Taking risks with sculpting and portraiting anatomy and a dog was outrageous. What an experience. At first glance, our sight compensates for what we want to see; we seek clues and build a conclusion. Ultimately, it drives me to create one piece of art after another.
