Recently, I had a school project that involved the process of realism to abstraction. We could choose any subject matter, but we had to use elements of the object as we progressed towards abstraction. I chose a pumpkin which I thought appropriate in light of the season! I was extremely happy (for the most part...) with the end product! I hope you enjoy them as well :)
1. Realistic drawing using only pen
2. Stylized rendition using paint and pen (I chose a black watercolour for this one)
3. Stylized painting using mixed media (stencil and ink splatters)
4. Complete abstraction using a variety of media (collage, modelling paste, glass beads, ink)
