Artist : Rita Angus
Original Painting My Painting
I had a great time working on this particular piece of art done by rita angus as it
caught my attention at first when we had to choose who we wanted to paint. Credited as one of the leading figures in twentieth century New Zealand art. She worked primarily in oil and water colour, and is well known for herportraits and landscapes. She was also influenced by the English painter Christopher Perkins' 1931 painting of Mount Taranaki, a response to New Zealand's distinctive clear lightning.
The reason i chose this painting was because it stood out to me, the emotions on the face of this painting gave me. Very dull look, no expressions at all, it also reminded me of my grandma.
If you notice the different changes i made with the character in the painting, I slightly changed her beanie into a bandanna, With oil paint i started my outlines, then painting the inside out, with dark black i gave my painting a hard edge by darkening the edges and outlines.
