This illustration Friday topic was People. My drawing was a four people doing normal things people would do during the day. One was walking, another was two people greeting each other and talking, and the last one was someone excercising. The only challenging part of the drawings was getting the body part in the right position and making it look natural.
This observational drawing is of a white Honda CR-V. It was difficult getting all the parts of the car at the correct scale and placed correctly. I drew this vehicle because it was a challenge but at the same time enjoyable. These two paintings are made by the artist Michael Kagan. Kagan likes to make his work on the man-made objects, the ones that are able to kill the operator instantly that is inside but also protects the operator at the same time. As you can see from these works of art, Kagan uses many different colors and thick strokes. To accomplish this look, he uses an impasto technique with thick strokes that are deliberate and at the same time unique. This style seems to show the aggression in his use of oil paint on linen.
He is a New York-based artist that switches between representational and abstract styles. "Each painting is an image, a snapshot, a flash moment, a quick read that is locked into memory by the iconic silhouettes." Kagan's well known paintings have been made since 2010. Kagan has a website where all his paintings are published. http://michaelkagan.com/. |
