'EARTHSPIRAL'
This
is the last painting in a series of three. Similar to the others,
this painting was inspired by the photographs available on the Nasa
website. This particular painting was from the photograph and article
named 'A 'Rose' Made of Galaxies'. I originally used coloured pastels
to produce the affects which were very subtle, and although this did
look affective and more accurate as a whole, it seemed rather bland
from a distance, so like the other 2 paintings, I decided to use a
mixture of pastels and thickly applied paint to make it really stand
out. The hues are deeper than the original photograph for affect. I
again used unconventional tools to apply the paint like needles,
pins, and a cotton pick. The wispy original pastels are made to stand
out by just slightly outlining the areas with a white pencil. The
painting was finally blacked in, but extensively used to delineate
the different areas for affect and contrast.
