Weekly Blog [11/9-11/15]

This sketch was inspired by the previous sketch I did of a tree. I want to try and draw various types and styles so that I can improve my sketching and coloring skills. I really like the over all design I have of the trees and I think if I can continue to work on this particular subject I can continue to improve creatively. This is a fall tree because the colors aren't as bright as my previous tree and it looks a little dullers. I gave it the turquoise touch to make it special and not so dead on the paper.

This is a cyanotype photo I developed in my photography class. The cyanotype cloth has special chemicals on it for development. In order to develop a picture, place an object on the cloth out in the sun (opaque and transparent objects look the best). The time that you leave the cloth and object out in the sun is determined by the strenght of the sun on that particular day. For example, if it's really bright outside, you don't leave it out for very long. The cloth will appear green but after taking it out of the sun, wash it off with water until it turn blue and has white. Hang up on a cloths line inside until fully dry. The results can be very beautiful.

I thought this cyanotype was very beautiful. Using elements from nature such as leaves and flowers come up with some of the best results.
