Phoenix
Craft
this piece was rendered using acrylic paint over the base layer of watercolor and sharpie. the original image was copied so that the shapes could be crafted based off of the curves and lines used in the original bird, and then the image was transfered over using graphite onto the piece and painted. The many colors on the bird, namely the yellows of the body and the red-orange tint on the start of the wings was due to white acrylic mixing with the watercolor to form the colors, and on the extended sections of the wings a hint of magenta was added.
Concept
The idea of this piece was to render a shape designed by another person in to my style, while keeping hold of the colors used into the piece. As well, the lines used to create the bird's feathers, head, and body were used to crete the parameters of the shapes which were created.
Composition
This piece used the dark navy backdrop which gradients into white to help contrast the warm colors used inside of the bird itself, and to give it the feel of truly being a phoenix, with fire illuminating darkness.
