After breaking down the GDD and looking at the research that went into it impressionism is very important. Not for the final artstyle but as a way to explore our artistic skills and get a grasp on creatively using colours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a weeping willow tree made with Ohuhu markers. Weeping willows are important to the location I am creating. I began with the trunk of the tree layering up brown pink and yellow to get a saturated mix of colours. Then I used simple mark making and began constructing the leaves. Using a variety of blues, greens and purples in layers I create dthe final leaf effect. I am very pleased with how this came out not ony was it fvery fun but the colours mixing and levels I achieved would be good to have in the final Vertical Slice. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the willow tree I decided to create a larger scale artwork of the lake. I employed the same mark making and approach to colour as the previous artwork. I incorporated the other flora and fauna in the location like the lotues flowers, northen blue flags and blue cardinals. <\/strong>The water provided a challenge as it does not have a colour but I got creative with it and focused more on what complemented the surroundings not what actually made sense, much like the impressionists. I am satisfied with how this came out and believe it works as a good starting point for developing the lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore more artstyles and check in with the other artist to see how their experimentation has come along. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
