Week 11: Painting and Drawing

I made these two drawings out of using various sizes of circular black paintbrushes and viewing different tea pots in class.In the first painting, I opened a new Photoshop document and opened a new layer. I used a nine point round paintbrush and did only vertical lines. Then, I opened another layer to fill in the spaces drawing only horizontal lines. Next, I used red and yellow on a twenty point paintbrush and colored in the spaces of the tea pot. I rearranged the different layers until I was satisfied with this tea cup and turned off the layer that had the red lines. Then I began drawing the background of the tea pot and the tea pot stand. on different layers as well. I drew the computer behind the tea pot and as well as the keyboard. In the second painting, I opened up a new document on Photoshop and and opened a new layer. Then, I used a nine point paintbrush only doing vertical lines that created some what of the shape of the tea pot. Next, I opened up another layer and filled in the spaces using only horizontal lines. I arranged the different layers this way so that people can see the tea pot as a whole. I tried to fill in all of the spaces so that the tea pot looked like a solid item as it is in person. I am controlling the viewers eye by contrasting the yellow and the black in the first drawing. Also the tea pot is very dark and filled in compared to the other items I have in the drawing so this makes it stick out more. In the second drawing, I think I am controlling the viewers eye because of the contrast between the black tea pot and the white background. These are two drawings that I made out of Photoshop's round paintbrushes. This means that by drawing different directions of lines can 

I made these paintings out of the various preset paintbrushes Photoshop offers. First, I opened a new Photoshop document on U.S. that was 8.5 x 11 on RGB. First, I decided on the two hues I would use which are green and blue. I started on my first layer using one color and only one paintbrush. This painting is using the neighboring colors of blue and green, but with a variety of different tones between these two colors. Some layers varied between light and dark and also being completely covered to only having one stamp. When I was done with all twenty layers, I rearranged they layers until I was satisfied with these five paintings. The first painting is called "Flower Power," second painting is called "Go Green," third painting is called "Jellyfish," fourth painting is called "Under the Sea," and the fifth painting is called "Bubble Burst." I arranged these paintings this way so that both the green and blue would show and contrast against each other. I am controlling the viewer's eye by putting the dark stamps against the light stamps and vice versa. I also tried to make everything be centered and draw the eye to the middle of the painting. These are two paintings that I  made out of using other peoples paintbrushes. This means when you are finished with each layer can arrange the layers to make completely different paintings. The more layers you create with various differences from each layer can produce more interesting paintings. I'm trying to say that the more different paintings you can create from one set of layers, can help choose which is the best and worst painting.
