Ben Volta Canvas project reflection
I decided to take the drawing from Ben Volta that I made in which I used the light bulb and the bottle rack.
With the light bulb I drew an octopus or squid looking creature. The head was the light bulb and the cords were used to make the tentacles. I used the bottle rack as some sort of coral look to it.
When I had finished the outline of the picture decided I wanted to also use a neon pink within the blue because I thought that these two colors would look good together. I started to fill in the blue lines with a neon pink with a tint of yellow planning to fully fill in the lines. As I was painting it pink I really like the swift look brush strokes. Instead of filling in the picture completely I left the scratchy- looking rush strokes as they were.
Next I had the problem with the fact that I didn’t want to use the text piece on my art because I didn’t feel like it would look good with the rest of my painting. So for the text I incorporated it by painting over the black canvas in black. I took various words I saw in the original art piece that said “your turn” though the words weren’t originally put in that order.
