A to z - post 2

Hi everyone this is the first post of three that I am doing this weekend and it is a continuation of the A to Z post I put up last week. I have managed to finish the extra page for the surrealism sheet and I have done the last two pages of the six I had to do. Below is the extra page for surrealism:

A4 Extra page on surrealism

On the surrealism page I focused on the famous surrealist painter Salvador Dali who did the well known masterpiece called the melting clocks. I found it fascinating to look at his work because it looks so different and unreal.

A4 sheet on Willem Kalf

This sheet was for the letter K and  I did it on a Dutch painter called Willem Kalf. He liked to paint still life's and I have had a go at painting one of his well-known works which I think looks quite good. I like his work because even though some objects fade into the background a bit he always makes some objects stand out by using a bright or vibrant colour.

A4 sheet on Richard Wilson

This sheet was done for the letter W and I did this on a landscape artist called Richard Wilson.
He was originally a portrait painter until he decided that he wanted to start painting landscapes. I have tried doing a critical study of one of his landscapes and I think I have painted it to look quite similar to the original. I think his work is quite nice however I think the colours need to be a bit brighter because it looks faded and bland.

 I have had fun doing this project and I think it has gone really well. I have still got to write my evaluation but apart from that the project is completed. I will be writing more posts later on and I hope you liked reading this. Bye for now x
