During this project, I am going to use the color scheme to color my artwork. I am also going to use warm color, cold color, and even some pastel colors to my artwork. I might also blend the colors together to make another new color.

I observed the drawing of Kandinsky. I decided to choose the very first circle box, because the color was interesting.

I chose Kandinsky’s painting for my artist inspiration, because I liked how his paintings have various bright colors and different shapes.

One thing I learned about Kandinsky is that he was highly influenced by painters like Claude Monet as well as music composers and philosophers. Second thing I learned is that Kandinsky’s early paintings were landscapes that were heavily influenced by Impressionist artists as well as Pointillism and Fauvism. Last thing  I learned about Kandinsky is that Kandinsky changed his career late, when he was 30.

Final Artwork

One problem I faced during painting was when I was painting the brown branches in the door. The branches are supposed to be very thin, but when I was actually painting them, it was very difficult. If I put too much paint in the brush, the brush was too hard and not smooth to draw thin lines, and if I put too much water, the paint started to blend. So to solve that problem, I first dipped the brush in the water cup, and kind of dry it using paper and dipped it into the paint and then paint the branches.

My original plan was to draw a door and paint flower and trees in the background. But after I tried other ideas, I decided to color the background night sky with stars on it. I also thought it would be better to change some parts of the door, so I decided to change the shape, and the color. (I might also change little parts as I make my final artwork.)

I used acrylic paint and markers in this artwork (I combined two medias together). In the second artwork, I used watercolor paint and marker. I decided to use acrylic paint for my final artwork, because I thought the watercolor paint doesn’t really fit in to my theme. (It blends and I don’t want the blending). Also, instead of making the background flower (my original idea), I decided to change into a night sky, also the flower’s color (yellow-blue/purple).

(My second artwork is missing because my photo-booth has some problem.)
