Fortune Project
Oil paint on cradled wood panel.
For the final assignment for Painting I, we were each given a fortune cookie. The fortune inside was the jumping point for our final portrait. My fortune stated “Stay focused and determined this Wednesday and success will follow.” I decide I wanted to hone in on the focus portion of that. I took a picture of a brick wall and another picture of me balancing on a curb. I threw those pictures into photoshop to create the overall composition. I then built a 3 foot by 4 foot cradled panel and began to paint.
