Subject matter | Form | Composition | Content | |
What does my painting depict? The subject matter of my painting is a painting of Iron Man | How did I create the different tones? I used diluted white acrylic paint to make a thin wash. I brushed this on the painting paper with the black gesso. This created a grey tone. To make lighter, grey tones, I added second and third layers of wash. I also did a bit of outlining in normal black and white paint to make it neater. | How did you compose your subject matter? Iron Man is centred in the picture space | Is your subject matter symbolic or does it express an idea? | |
How did you paint the highlights? | Is the negative space important in your painting? | |||
With white washed paint and plain white paint. Washed paint to smooth it out and normal white paint to add more light to it. | Yes so it can make the character stand out more. |

Kia Ora Ruby,
ReplyDeleteGood use of the dilution matrix to analyze your painting. The extra work that you did on the last few days really helped straighten lines and clarify edges. The painting has a good range of tones. You are correct that painting the background, the negative space, can add to the form of the head. How would painting a lighter background behind the dark side of the head affect the form?
