Artist Inspiration
Planning
Process
Before even starting my project I decided to look at my sketches in order to figure out which one I wanted to do and so I decided to have the hand movement from the first sketch because it was what I had in mind with my project, but also have him looking away because it would have been the best fit for my piece, and also because when you are vulnerable you are more shy and scared. At first it was a bit hard to work with to position the man correctly in the canvas as I did in the sketch.
As I started my project I decided to gesso my canvas since I accidentally bought a canvas without gesso. So I decided to give it a thick layer of gesso so I would not need another coat and have it warp my actual piece. Once gessoing my painting I decided to let it dry and continue to think about the color scheme within my painting. Once doing so I then started with the outline of the in between the thighs. I was not give it detail until after I was actually color it in. Next came thelegs and the shoes. Once the sketch was done with I decided to start coloring the actual piece so I decided to gather all of my acrylic paintings. I started out by coloring in the inner thighs once I finished blending in the colors in with the shades colors I decided to move on to the background. With the background I decided to paint it a dark blue.

Experimentation
I do believe that the there were certain parts in the project that I had experimented with. This would include the fact that I using intricate shapes.
Reflection
I noticed that when positioning my character legs in my painting was difficult, not this was because I have to be able to make them fit in the canvas and also be able to make them look good enough. Also the colors used could have been more lighter than what I used becasue they were all so dark.
Critic/ compare and contrast
Critic
Overall I was pleased with how my piece came out a couple of things that I would change would be to be able to try and be able to use better color scheme in the future and include a bit more cubism.
Compare and Contrast:
One of the main things that it is noticeable with my inspirations and my piece would be that both use the movement for the human bodies as well as the use the similar colors.
