FIN 120 Unit 3 – Page 4

This is the color scale from yellow to violet. Elizabeth suggested that there were a few hue stages I could add to the violet end and one of the browns was out of place so I have had a shot at revising the scale

And this is much better. One more yellow/orange, one less brown and two additional violets.

this is the first iteration – the slide was a bit of a challenge getting the perspective correct and the narrow lines for the rails and rungs

rather than modifying i decided to rework it . To correct the perspective I traced over the slide outline and used a conte crayon for the rungs and rails.

As you can see, and supporting color theory, the violet and yellow have a strong contrast where the swing and the sea both meet the sky. Also lots of different browns were available. By ignoring the yellow / violet ratio of 1:3 for ideal balance you get a more surreal effect, which I hope suits the wild and blustery subject.

And amazingly here is my painting amongst those of my talented classmates. The streak of light is entirely fortuitous. We had a great final critique and the wide range of ways that the other students tackled the brief in the assignment showed so much creativity. This brings FIN120 to a close. It has been fun all the way through – and a challenge – thanks to Elizabeth and all my classmates who have made it what it was. .
