Landed Rocket - Finished New Space Painting

4/30/2013

0 Comments

 
After some re-workings of the painting featured in the previous posts labelled as Alla Prima, which it now, no longer is, I think I have come to a satisfied conclusion with this homage to sc-fi and Chuck Jones cartoons. I believe I previously noted tex Avery, but I think that was a mistake. Think Duck Dodger in the 24 1/2 Century. 
I placed some more emphasis on the dusty, windswept landscape of the alien planet. In addition, I felt the need to include a lurking, strange astral body in the sky to make clear we are viewing a scene alien to earth. Some minor details added include clouds, further mountains, and more dusty particles in the air. I think the major change would be the addition of much more cooling colors in the foreground to bolster the reverse atmospheric perspective effect. While with the rocket, it has had some more cool colors added with some muted out details, in an attempt to make it hover in the middle ground, seeming to be slowly enveloped in the atmosphere. 
I had thought of adding a very small figure in the foreground to establish scale, but decided not to in order to invite that question - what scale is this and how big is that rocket? 
The pictures are details and distance views using different lighting (admittedly not the best) using my new NIKON Coolpix L810 - the jury is still out on the camera. 
On this painting, I used nothing other than the 1$ bottles of craft acrylic paint from Michael's and an 11x14 canvas board. See, you can make art affordable!
As always, I share for the sake of spreading art, inspiration, and imagination.

Article About BS in Graphic Design on Online Degrees Website

Random post: Several months ago, I answered a linked in message from someone looking to get information from someone who had gone through school to get a Bachelor's in Graphic Design and their experience in the field after school in the graphic design professional world. I took a long time to respond to this person as I did not know if it was legit, and when I did, I had no idea when or where it would be used, if at all. Well, as I sometimes do, thanks to the work I do, I recently googled myself, just for entertainment, and found a link that I saw my name associated with that  I did not recognize. Upon closer examination, I found out it was the website where the questions I answered were published as an article on the online degree website - click to read.

Hmph.

New Alla Prima Space Painting

Alla Prima Space Painting. Fix?
So this the first real project since moving. Alla Prima, meaning the work was done in one sitting, was the technique used with acrylics. It was first intended to be for a special project in a desert landscape, but is now slated for inclusion in my Space series. It is intended to convey a sense of strangeness, excitement and give a nod to the space craft used by cartoon makers of the likes of Tex Avery. However, at this point, it feels like it needs some fixing. I can't put my finger on it, but I think am leaning towards darkening the space rocket, adding some reflections and highlights on it and perhaps lightening the alien terrain behind it. As far as Alla Prima space paintings go, it turned out ok for my first time. If you are actually reading this, feel free to comment and leave your suggestions. Thanks, as always.

Sorry for the long interval between posts once again. I have been busy. For those who already know, this is a sort of "after the fact" announcement. After being offered a job with a new company, I have moved to Rochester, MN. More updates to come soon, I promise!
