Hue Are You?

This was the first project for my painting class. It was a study in learning both techniques and colors. We started with greyscale, moved to painting subjects in complementary, dry-brushed over a complementary-colored painting, made a collage, painted in an impasto style, and finally painted in our own style.

A gray scale cat to the left of a greyscale cherry and pear.
This was my first acrylic painting from life. It depicts a ceramic cat along with a pear and cherry in greyscale.
A loosely painted ceramic cat. A yellow pear with red dots sits in front of it. To the right of the pear is a lime.
This was an impasto painting of the same ceramic cat, in color, along with a pear and lime.
A purple Gudetama figurine and a green and purple bubble wand in a green bowl.
This is a painting using only complimentary colors. The original bowl is red. The bubble wand is pink and yellow. The Gudetama figurine is and yellow leaning towards orange.
A collage of a Gudetama figurine made of cardboard, a bowl of red glitter glue, and a bubble wand of a straw and paint. The background iis two shades of brown.
This was a collage piece made using cardboard, paint glitter glue, and a straw. The subjects are the same as the above piece.
A Minecraft creeper figurine, a heart shaped plastic box, and a plastic tube of blue paint. The background is different shades of yellow.
For this painting, I was instructed to paint in my own style. I wasn’t going for minimalism, but my subjects were mainly solid blocks of colors with almost no variation and I tend to paint with solid colors as well.
A painting with a cow, a paintbrush, and a pear/ the background is pink and red
This was originally painted with complementary colors, but then the real colors were dry brushed on top.
