self portrait

this is a self portrait of me i made the back ground by poring blue paint on the door and spreading it around with cardboard then i did the same with the red and scraped it around in wave patterns which relates to the painting convention abstraction  i was originally trying to mack purple but i thought this looked better then i waited for it to dry.  after it dryad which took like most the day because i spread the paint to thick i gridded up the door the squares wore 5cm then i coped the photo graft which i also gridded the squares wore 3cm on to the door then started painting i painted the clothes first, neck, hair then i got started on the face i painted the white side forest i no you cant see by the photo but the white side you can see all the paint strokes but on the brown side its all neat and you cant see the strokes.  After that i pot some caramel colors on my back ground to bring in some of the skin colour and to finely end it i rubbed out the grid.  All in all this all took about three days.  My idea was to create realistic portrait paintings which relates to the painting convention figurative.  the artist I'm trying to relate my art work to is Gerhard Richter my first painting i started with and am trying to relate my aether paintings to is the painting coled Bette which is a self portrait of a girl but in stead of looking at you she is looking away from you

girl with a pearl earring copy

The girl with a pearl earring as you can see has been coped on to a book cover just like many famous paintings and pitchers have been coped on books covers, Cd's covers, or have just been coped.  Dose that mack it lose its value wall i think it dose because there is more then one which macks them fake  and it is leas special now because of that.  It is no longer one original panting which means en one can cop it for their own yous.  But on the aether hand you could get a copy on a post cared and that would higher its value and meaning because more people around the world would see it making it more wall known

Greorges Braque Man with guitar

abstract art is not an accurate copy of an image.  like this painting Man with guitar by Greorges Braque.  The image is mad of different parties, shapes  and unrealistic curlers making it very hard to mack out what is happening in the painting.  Abstract art is meant to get your attention and a emotional response from you which is why most abstract art is foll of bright curlers for example this painting man with guitar it has bright red and orange in the center to drow your eye and over power all the gray and green around it to mack the to figers stand out and often every things out of preposition like this painting which is made out of different shapes and the to figers look totally unrealistic.  Abstract artist drawer from the hart and sole instead of what you see is what you get.  Our liking for abstract things happened back wen the Vikings mad the Veins a small hand haled sculpture of a women but her body is way out of proportion shes missing arms you cant see her face and the rest of her body is huge showing that even back then we were interested in out of proportion things and our love for it has grown all our lives we seem to crate unrealistic paintings, drownings and scultures there was one period in 480BC wen the Greeks created a realistic scalper the Kritios Boy but soon after they finial accomplished their goal and created a realistic sculpture they changed it back to abstract sculptures.  We just seem to find real life art work to boring
