Set Project: Second part of the background

I have spent a few days glue things together. Finally, I finished the background of the Leporello. I decided to keep it in a separate post. 

This part is about the middle (maturity) age. I had to change the sketch in regards to the picture that I found. This one (below) I took from my Milanote pictures folder as well as the previous part. I do like the colours of the sky, it is a great capture of the mountains and the lake.

I took a screenshot and pasted it onto Photoshop. I created an almost invisible layer, only for shapes (approximately).
When I reckon that I no longer need this tracing layer, I started to fill the colours. For the sky, etc.
Again, I repeated the same process. But I get used to the brushes and their options. It was not a random free picked brush. I know now what effect I want to obtain. 
I focused on light on the first stage. Considering main colours, taken straight from the colour palette.
I matched this illustration with the first part. Apparently, it did not match.
I created the general document for the Leporello. With resolution: 210x891mm. In practice, this consisted of three A4 documents (3 illustrations).
Here is another attempt at picking the right colours.
To visualise the last part, I made a quick sketch on a white sheet.
The last picture presents the final version. In the next post, I will further exemplify the overall look of the pieces.

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Set Project: Sketches and coming back to the first plan

In the last days, I concluded that I should focus on the reasons why I choose this topic and the style of this project. I think I started to be weak and not sure what I want to do. I think the reason is in a large number of researches. Same with techniques and artists to look at. I summarise that I am not capable to mix various inspirations at once. I came back to my first inspiration Anto van Hertbruggen. Because I always wanted to make art like that, no matter what's it gonna take. Here I will discuss the elements which I want to use to combine this pice in one. Here is the whole work with the background. As I mentioned before, I looked at how Anton work on his illustrations. He usually filling few sheets in drawings (as layers for one illustration).  First, I found a great view on google maps. I am interested in the territories of Canada and the northern landscape. The place is in Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife.  click I sketch this place on two sheets of paper. Then...

Welcome to my blog!

Tell me something about yourself:  I am a young artist studying IYZ Art&Design with Graphic Design BA, in De Montfort University. Live in the Leicester city centre. My pathway started since I have been influenced by a close family by Claude Monet’s works. Paintings made by my uncle’s hands were great copies. Those pieces of art have been surrounding me still. I have been studying at Art School in Bydgoszcz, were I gain helpful skills and workshop.  I would like to explore more possibilities to share my skills. The significant key of my artworks made by oil paints is the variously, including different textures and mediums. I’m sure that our expressions and feelings made us artists. In my artworks, I’m trying to take after my deep feelings of research and my inquisitiveness. Furthermore, I’m fascinated by the 50’s and 60’s century artists. Especially, Futurist artist like Boccioni, Silva, Gonzalez. Their appearance have been a tremendous impact on my art.  Claude Monet...
