Charcoal Mural
For my September project I made a charcoal mural. I started originally almost a year ago, but I have worked pretty diligently this month. I think there are strong details in the shirt and pants that bring the picture to life. I could have put more time into the quote, but the month went by quickly! This project portrays the owner of the room as an athlete and is memory that will forever be in his home.Value is vital when working in a monochromatic color scheme and contrast is also pretty important to make the picture make
sense. Through this project, I definitely learned that charcoal is not permanent. It is a tricky medium to use, because it is easily smudged. Also, I learned time management which is an important skill in life. For my project I drew out the designs and then began putting some values in. After that, I put more detail in as I went. The last thing I did was put the quote on the left wall. I chose this project because a friend had asked me if I could do it for him. The right wall was kind of for fun, but then I decided to complete the other wall for my project. This project was definitely worthwhile. The owners are excited about it and love to show it of which is really rewarding. I am not sure what project I will be doing for next month. |
