Newspaper painting


Newspaper assessment.
My learning outcome for my coating assessment is to have vibrant colours showing, which also allows the words I have chosen to show vividly and to be noticeable by the audience almost straight away.
I aim to have a finish product with smooth layers of paint, bold colours and to have a full coverage of the newspaper. I will be using wet and dry media.

In this newspaper assessment I have chosen an artwork which contains 9 bold colours which are, red, a vibrant yellow, ocean blue, baby blue, maroon, forest green, violet purple, dark purple/maroon and a normal purple. I have chosen these specific colours because, I will be using the white as more of a base colour to let the other colours come out bold and vibrant, the red and yellow colours will be used as pattern colours as well as the black paint. I will also be using a very thin sharp edged painting brush with the black to create fine lines boxing each word I have chosen to keep. I think doing so will help showcase the words a lot more, and will make them look much more bolder and gives them a defined look. Once I am finished painting the background and all the basics, I will then move on to adding islander themed patterns around the newspaper and do quick sketches for examples, so I know what I want to use and what would seem to fit better. for the patterns, I will be using all the colours allowed to then make the patterns pop and stand out more and I hope this will give it more definitions.

These are before and after of where I have started at, I have changed up my stroking techniques and decided to put the colours in individual square shapes, except the baby blue one, that is shown to curve around the violet purple. I chose to create this type of layout because I feel that it would catch the audience's attention more, because I have used a variety of colours and they are fun colours. I just need to draw on my patterns, and like said in the previous paragraph, I will be doing my pacific patterns.
