The Rowan Series #1

My mock exam piece #2 - set of 4.

They were all meant to be looking up at the main picture, which was the orange one.

All of them are watered-down acrylic paint on store-bought primed canvas.

EUW EUW still prefer to prime my own.

... NO i am not obsessed with their family, thank you very much.

Much thought and Gabi

And finally I've been able to post up some of my artwork onto here.

The orange one was my mock exam Piece #1. String and emulsion for the textured background, acrylic paint for the face.

Notice the "eyeliner".

I felt that this was by far my weakest piece to date contrary to reviews from friends and teachers. The proportions do Gabi no justice and the colour scheme is... well... heaty.
And not to mention, rather glaring.



One of my favourite pieces of all time... CALENDARRR!!!
This was done during my 5 hour Year 10 exam. It's string and emulsion textured background and black and white acrylic paint for the face. Red and blue splodges (can't really see them here) are watered-down poster paints.

I remember coming into the exam not really knowing what was happening and what to actually paint. Ms Alford went absolutely mad. Her aussie accent grew increasingly curly. "Don't know what you're supposed doooo? You shouldn've ahhsked me waaayyy uuurlier!!!"

My initial idea was to paint a screaming Kristen face (some of my peers will remember that I was pursuing this idea for quite some time). However, I changed my mind last minute and painted this sorrowful Gabi face instead.

I don't know, it was the hurt of betrayal in her eyes that really compelled me. Stunning eyes, she's got!

The actual painting now belongs to Gabi. I hope she likes it!
