In todays lesson we were looking at the artist Otto Dix's oil painting the brush strokes he uses are very purposeful and direct, he dose not blend the colours but allows them to sit on top of one another. Within this practical we were to explore this technique on the face using Supra Colour pallet we were to explore re creating one of his paintings.
I enjoyed this practical as i used to do fine art and my painting style is very similar creating visible brush strokes to allow the colour to sit and create shape. I found it hard painting around the features as usually when painting you paint the eye or the nose i felt as the colours weren't the same in the eye area it made the over all effect look quite comical. I found the supra colour good to work with and preferred this to the aqua colour paints i felt i could get a better depth in colour build up.
