I am glad to share with you some of my plates showing manual renderings, using Prisma watercolors. Every activity is a proof of developing my artistic skills and that it helps me improve myself to always become better.
First plate I did for my color theory class- color wheels showing different color combinations as well as hue values, saturation, shades, tints, and tones.
Another plate I did for my color theory class, defining shadows. Strokes made to emphasize the shades of a color. Flat wash stroke technique was also applied for the background.
After learning watercolor techniques and how to do such, this plate was put to life through layering techniques that defines the hues' saturation and value.
This plate trained me in achieving soft textures and strokes for furnishings and fabrics. Aside from applying flat wash and gradation watercolor techniques, details were essential to justify the material and object.
This plate's goal is to conceptualize a logo and apply the nurtured watercolor rendering techniques. The design elements seen were made by the designer for an invented resort: 'Kamaya'. The hand logo is conceptualized as bodies of water with an island and an awesome view of sunset.
Still life watercolor painting of fruits: Tomato, grapes, mango and an apple.
Pre-requisite subject to Color Theory is Color Dynamics. The goal of the course is to apply rendering techniques to interior spaces as well as to apply the developed skills to create a much adept output. In this plate, color gradation was applied to an interior space.
The plate by its title, showcases simultaneous contrast of color. The left side shows the hue chosen and its application on pattern. The rights side shows the pattern made being applied into an interior space.
This plate shows cool color translation. I copied the work of Vincent van Gogh, Vase with Twelve Sunflowers that he made on 1888. Aside from the watercolor used, I added details by using ball point pens.
I struggled with achieving the goal of this plate. It was challenging to create good contrast of hues with the use of different colors. One way to check if it is achieved is by taking a photo of the finished plate in black and white effect to be able to see the contrast: if the left matches the contrast of the right.
Two plates shows contrast of colors: contrast of hue and complementary contrast. The left square of each plate shows the hue used and its value or gradation. While the right square of each plate shows the application of the contrasts made.
This is one of my favorite plate. It shows a warm color translation of Vincent van Gogh's famous work: The Starry Night of 1889. Bold warm hues extending from yellows to red were used and strokes were played to achieve the goal.
Victorian furniture pieces rendered using watercolor. The gold furnishing and details are done using ball pint pens. The plates are alongside other working drawings for midterm outputs.
Creating light and shadow is the main goal of the plate. It is a still life painting, using watercolor on Canson watercolor paper. The objects were shared by the class and an artificial lighting was used to create the shadows.
