To show emphasis, I painted a coffee rose, a button sunflower, and mouthed snapdragons. For the rose, I used a latter cup with foam to show the center of the rose. The rest of the normal rose was blooming out of the coffee. In the sunflower, I replaced the eye of the flower with a shiny button. The viewer's eye is drawn to the shiny button instead of the velvety petals of the sunflower. The mouths of the snapdragons are replaced with human mouths. The pearly teeth and lush lips obviously don't belong with the flowers. Each flowers has an object that doesn't belong, drawing the viewer's attention to it. Over the course of the year I learned how to manipulate texture. In each painting I attempted to make the flower petals look like different textures. The sunflower has a softer, velvety texture, the snapdragons are rougher, and the rose is silky. With more time with watercolour, I was able to understand how to really take advantage of the paints. I have learned how to use the paints to the best of my ability, and I believe I have learned my own style of art. With each different painting, I encaptured a different mood. I physically cannot paint things of the same feeling or idea without using the exact same colour palette and idea. I have synthesia, and with that, every different shade or value of a colour has a completely different mood. For my rose painting I captured bliss, the dragonsnaps are rage, and the sunflower is joy. The blue lily is courage, the exploding poppy is desire, and the self portrait is beauty. My paintings all show different moods instead of having similar moods to the other paintings.
