Description
"Ascending" Object Reference Still Life
20"x24":Acrylics, only Mar's Black, Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Doxazine Purple on a gallery wrapped canvas.

We had to do a still life, in which we could do a few different ways. The way I chose was where you put a bunch of stuff together that was never together in the first place. I had the idea of the crow, and he told me to go for it. I actually didn't know what to do but then the crow skull attached to the manequin kind of hit me and I got excited about it. The crow background is kind of like a spirit of a crow rising from darkness. I liked doing the background because I have never done anything expressive like that before, and i'll tell you, that is very limited expression. The crow skull people are suppose to be kind of like Shamans in a way. Mr. Butcher said that it might be a good idea to change the manequin hand into a real skeleton hand, so I did. I like how this one turned out. And if you notice on the far left between the edge and the crow skull person, there's a transparent black shadow of the smaller person. It was a crazy shadow that I wish I could have done more with.

3rd painting for Painting 1!
