Brainstorming/Famous Artist Research: 1. Gerhard Richter 2. Joan Miro Sketches and References: Final Color Sketch: In Progress Pictures: Final Painting: Self Evaluation Questions:
1. Name- Gerhard Richter
3. The most challenging part of this project was trying to mimic Richter's technique without using that actual tool. While mine and his pieces are similar in a way, they still look different in how the paint was guided. It was tough to smear the paint while trying to keep the essential shape of the landscape and after my painting had dried overnight. 4. I feel my color choices accurately reflect the reference image I chose while also incorporating Richter's normal color choices. Richter normally uses earth tones in his paintings which is why I painted the ground, bushes, and trees to be reddish browns and greens instead of black and dark brown like the image was. I also didn't use too much black because that would consume the painting, which isn't what I wanted to do. 5. I feel like my landscape reflects Richter's art because his pieces are more simplistic and include very few colors, which is why I picked my landscape to be simplistic with minimal colors. Richter also doesn't normally paint landscapes, as most of his art is portraits or abstract art. 6. I definitely think he would say that I should try using an actual rubber squeegee to paint, so my painting looks even more similar to his. While a paintbrush mimics the technique in some aspects, using an actual squeegee would highlight the squeegee effect I was striving for. I also think he would say that I should try to define the shapes on my landscape a little more so you can still see the blurred effect and still visualize the image that I was creating. 7. If I were to do this project again, I definitely don't think I would brush the image out as much. I think I did it too much in my painting that the images just started to look like blobs on my canvas. I also think I would try to blur my image out right after I put down the fresh paint more because in the painting I did, I let the paint dry too much, and it was harder to smear, so I had to put extra paint on the canvas.
