Ashley Li-Talking colour










I went to the amusement park, there are a lot of different kinds of facilities. I like the style of the facilities and it gave me many inspirations. They combined many adorable animals and characters with rides. It is very suitable for a child to play, it also can make many good memories over there.
I start with taking pictures of rides, and then I sketch the outline. Next, I try to use my own paint and my own colors cause I want to express my feeling at that time. Thus, I used light colors to present it. For me, these colors can represent my feeling at that time. Moreover, I also use heavy brushstrokes to paint it and used oil pastels to present it. I try to create a hazy feeling because I am very happy and unrealistic at that moment. It is like a dream, so I think oil pastel is a good medium to use. After experiencing the coloring of these ten pictures, it is a good way to present your feeling by using color and brushstrokes.
At the foundation, the teacher will tell us to cut the randan objects and combine them in whatever shape we want, and then draw the pattern. It is a good way to get more inspiration. This way makes many inspirations for me. After drawing the pattern, you can’t tell what it is, it becomes abstract. I think it is the most interesting part.
In this experience, I learn that we can use color and brushstroke to show our feeling and also turn a realistic drawing into an abstract pattern. I like how using different ways to connect my theme.
