My Concentration was Taking Bands Ive seen in concert and creating my own interpretation of them through painting. I wanted to take band names and try to incorporate that into my ideas. This piece is of Star Death and White Dwarfs and so i wanted to actually try and think scientific about that actual concept. When a White Dwarf begins to consume a star, there's a peak where the Center of the White Dwarf is ignited and Flaming gas bursts out from the surface. and during the Show the guitarists/vocalist has a smoke bomb that goes off, so i thought i was able to incorporate the show to the real deal. In the pieces I've done of other bands, the composition is mainly having the viewer focused on the main subject that is located on the left side of the painting. I had the secondary colors as my main pallet, but also trying to include the primaries. The bottom right corner and on that side a bit has some molding paste to add texture, which was one of the things I've placed in all of the pieces. I tried to have big bodies of space with shapes building it up. Unfortunately, i don't have a second piece done for this concentration, which is weak sauce. I was losing my motivation towards the subject matter, thinking i wasn't going to be able to execute any of the pieces the way i envision. So, now I've decided to change my concentration, which is the main topic for my most recent post.

I really like the usage of texture in the picture and how the shapes give it a sense of movement and bring the picture into almost a circle. However!!!! i LOVE what you are doing with your sketches in your pervious post! to me they feel sooo much more personal and i can really sense a story coming through the image. they make me want to see more of this quirky family, where as in the bands concentration it seems like it would be hard to have them all connect. The family is almost like a photo album. The line quality in just your sketches is really nice and how you set up the pieces. I vote for the quirky family moments!!!!
