i've been having trouble colour correcting this thing for the web. it either came out too dark or too light. for this particular piece some spots are too dark

Time Out

2010-03-11T06:25:00.000-08:00

so heres a painting did for jungs class, its based off one of the thumbnails i did the week before. i had a bit more going on this piece but one of my teachers told me to get rid of it cause it was a bit distracting. i'd love to do more to it like all my other pieces but of course i ran out of time, and due date is due date. but i'll probably revisit this piece in the summer and add a lot more to it. for those who are curious, this piece is a bit about my childhood. i had this chinese lion dancing hat my grandfather gave me when i was really young. my brother was still a baby so i played alot by my self and of course broke many things by accident. i had this little red cape i would always wear with it. it was silk and was used during my parents wedding. in chinese and vietnamese culture they would use a red silk cloth that had some embroider of a dragon and phoenix that guest would sign. so here it is. my original idea was to have a broken shelf that was badly put back together with tape and have the kid in the corner holding the hammer and tape still. so i'll probably do that over this summer and repost this.

Creature Creation for Izzy

2009-10-22T13:48:00.000-07:00

i wish i had more to show for this piece, or particular assignment but i don't because i did this piece last minute. i went with a more painterly approach with this piece. and with the amount of time i had. i'm really happy how it turned out. i settled on my thumbs pretty early for this piece. it was a type of dog that had bad eyesight but a great sense of smell. so great that it came with a few extra pairs of nostril. i also gave it a bit bigger than average size ears that stand upright. and i made it kinda look a little like a pig. well we weren't asked to colour this piece, but i have a colour palette in mind for it already. soo i think if i ever get free time i'll go back and paint over this.

well here was my final piece. its fully coloured and in details. i also made some changes to the waterfall which i plan to change again. its a bit boring and plain. i need to make it look more epic. i also left a few people on top of one of the cliffs. i'm planning to change it to some type of sacrificial ceremony, where they toss someone off of the cliff. other than that i was pretty happy where this went. my teacher liked my choice of colours. looking at this and comparing it to my first landscape painting in this class 2 assignments ago. theres a huge difference. i'm glad i'm getting better. i hope i continue to improve at this pace.

so for this next part of the assignment jung wants us to do 3 colour studies of our chosen landscape. i didn't like the composition i had for the river that i decided to redo it. i kept going over and over with it changing the composition untill i decided to just settle down cause i was running out of time. originally i had a composition where the viewer would be at the edge of of one of the river it self and was about to fall off, in the end i decided to scrap it.
