Hey y'all, my name is Brittany and the piece of art that you're looking at us called "The Colorful Mermaid". I got my inspiration for this piece out of an art book that our teacher told us to browse through. Her eyes are what really caught my attention. They were looking to the side as if they were pondering about something. The color scheme that I am using came from a pop artist sensation who is named Andy Warhol. He did many pieces by doing multiples and by using different colors. When I started off, I used a pencil to draw the image on a small square. Then I put it on a transfer sheet so I could transfer it to a piece of poster board. I darkened it up once I got it there, then started painting. It was really complicated! What I feel when I look at this piece is longing. It is a kind of depressing look on her face and it looks to me like she is longing for something to come back to her. What I plan on doing in the next blocks is to mix up the blocks with warm and cool colors to give it a vibrant color scheme. I plan to use tan, yellow, violent, brown and orange and other unique colors.
