Still Life-Mary Cassatt Inspired
In Painting we were assigned to paint a still life painting and incorporate an artist of our choosing by using that artist's style or color pallette, etc. I chose Mary Cassatt for my artist and I particually liked her color pallette and how often her painting were very upclose and cropped. The viewer was in the painting. To begin the project we took many photos of various objects set up together. Then we chose a photo and went to painting. I personally liked this project the best because my color pallette was very bright and the subject was interesting. It took some time for me to get used to using different colors for objects instead of their usual like a brown or black desk. I actually changed the color to a vibrant purple and it worked really well. In the end I think this painting came together really well! The first picture is the one I chose to paint.The next two paintings are by Mary Cassatt and were my inspiration.
