Dot Painting

After the outline of my body was done using chalk, it was soon painted in the suitable colours shown in the picture. Different tones of colour were used to show the various colours of body, skin and hair. After this was done and dry, details were added like shadows. A dark brown colour was used to indicate the shading on the body. The colour's used for my hair were a light brown and green. Green was used because in my art image, it showed my hair as green from the way the sun was shining on it. After all of the final touches were finished,gesso was paintd around the focal point (the body). Following this, any colour chosen was painting on top of the gesso (dry). I chose bright yellow. Numerous colours in dot painting bottles were placed on a table, and the class had to pick 2-3 colours for dot painting. The colours offered were a light greern, black, white, yellow and a skin colour. I chose balck and white. When the paint surrounding the body was fully dry, I started dot painting. The first line of dots were white, I dot painted around the whole body and broomstick. I also dot painted around border of the piece. After the white line of dots were finished, I started to use the black colour keepingin mind that the shape of the dot couldn't be too small, but not too big.
