ARTWORK I LOOKED AT

By Carl Humphryhttp://fineartamerica.com/featured/airplane-in-the-sky-cari-humphry.html

Red and green clouds were made by changing the color balance.Image→Adjustments→color balance

This  was  my  *irst  time  working  on  a  big  picture  like  this,  and  what  I  used  was  acrylic  paint  and  a  canvas.The  *irst  idea  I  had  in  mind  was  a  pilot,  who  is  controlling  the  airplane  for  an  air  show.  The  view  is  from  an  inside  of  the  cockpit.

The  part  that  I  like  about  this  painting  is  the  clouds.  I  think  I  did  well  producing  the  *luf*iness  of  the  cloud  and  its  gradation  from  red/green  to  white.  The  part  I  don’t  like  is  the  airplanes.  At  *irst,  I  drew  the  airplanes  free  hand,  but  as  I  started  to  paint,  I  realized  that  the  proportions  are  not  correct  and  I  used  the  projector  to  get  the  shapes  right.  The  reason  why  I  don’t  like  the  airplane  part  is  because  of  shades.  If  I  have  colored  the  shades  in  right,  the  airplane  might  have  looked  better.  If  I  had  time  to  *ix  this  painting,  I’d  work  on  the  airplane  right  away.I  think  the  background  sky  went  well  too,  as  the  gradation  came  out  well.  

For  my  next  artwork,  I’ll  make  a  graphing  artwork,  by  using  photoshop  and  illustrator.  This  painting  I’ve  *inished  had  more  serious,  “work”  kind  of  feeling  and  this  time,  I’ll  try  and  express  how  kids  are  feeling  about  the  airshow.  By  these  two  artworks,  I  want  to  show  the  differences  of  emotions  from  one  topic  called  “air  show”
