This was our first project in Painting 1. The goals of this still life project were to paint the five objects that were on display from our perspective using only black and white. This is called a value painting. We were supposed to create a painting that had a feeling of a logical single light source and to bring a wholeness between the figure ground relationship. We did this by having at least 3 to 4 values in the painting and in the objects. We could only use black and white oil paints for this project and could not add any other objects or take any out. This project was a lot of fun and really a great learning experience when it comes to value range and an introduction to painting. Of course looking at my finished piece there are improvements I could still make. The shadow of the dark pot is slightly darker than needed and the background needs a little more solidity. Overall I am pretty happy with my final painting for this project.
