Contours with Vermeer
|
Girl with a Pearl Earring is an oil painting by 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer
Scholars estimate the painting was completed in 1665. The painting is an example of a type of work called a tronie. Popular in the Dutch Golden Age, tronies were paintings that focused on the face of a subject with an added element of fantasy or an exaggeration of expression that differentiates them from portraits. The girl in this painting is believed to be Vermeer’s eldest daughter, Maria, who was about twelve or thirteen years old at the time it was created. Regarded as Vermeer’s masterpiece, this canvas is often referred to as the Mona Lisa of the North or the Dutch Mona Lisa. With this painting the viewer is captured by the subject and believes they have caught her attention and caused her to turn her head. This is a "enticing" painting with the girl gazing at the viewer with wide eyes and a parted mouth and there is an air of mystery surrounding her identity |

For this summative we will be looking at and pulling inspiration from the artwork of William Stout.
William created a book of Illustrations highlighting many blues legends throughout history that played a influential role in his life not only as a soundtrack but also as familiar friends he could turn to, to help him through hard times. William Stout not only captures their likeness through various value techniques but, he also highlights each musicians iconic character and unique story through exaggerations and symbolism. Each portrait includes a short biography including background, interesting life tidbits, birthdate w/ location, death (if applicable) and whatever else seemed fitting.

QUICK TIPS:
Remember that some of the value will come from the water color so it is ok to leave a little more white space when using your value technique.
Don't forget to erase your grid prior to adding water color.
It's easier to add color than it is to take color away. Start light with your water colors and build up.
