Week 13: Bike Paintings Final



Craft - These "paintings" were all created from brushes that i made using photos I took at the bike shop across the street.  I went about these in a very random way. I just created a new layer with a similar color and a new brush each time. I then drew on that layer or stamped it. The entire piece was created without seeing or knowing where the previous layers were. So in the end, after turing on all the layers, i had a complete piece in front of me. 
Composition - I then began to arrange the layers to create the compositions that worked best. I would turn off certain layers and move certain layers to the front or back until i was happy with my arrangement. Then i would save it or screen capture it and the result would be the three above. 
Concept- The concept for these was pretty simple because we were already given a subject of bikes. I just tried to convey the message of bike without having a boring composition of just all bike parts. I kept the colors intense and the shapes pretty powerful. This enabled me to complete the assignment but still create a cool fresh piece or work.
