PAINTING WITH EDWARD HOPPER'S STYLE

​

DATE: NOVEMBER 2018

MEDIUM: ACRYLIC PAINT, PAINT MARKER

​

THIS PAINTING, WAS INSPIRED BY EDWARD HOPPER'S STYLE OF WORK. AFTER PAINTING A TRANSCRIPT OF HIS WORK, I USED ONE OF MY IMAGES THAT I HAVE TAKEN THAT IS SIMILAR TO HIS PAINTING OF "SUN IN AN EMPTY ROOM" AND ALSO INTRODUCE "BLACK AND WHITE".

​

THIS IMAGE, TAKEN FROM MY SCHOOL, IS IN A CORNER OF A CORRIDOR, WITH A LEDGE AND A WALL. IN THE IMAGE, THERE WERE MANY DIFFERENT TONES OF GREY, SO I DECIDED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY PAINTING WITH ONLY BLACK AND WHITE PAINT. I MADE MANY DIFFERENT SHADES, WHICH WAS DIFFICULT AS THE ORIGINAL IMAGE HAD VERY SIMILAR TONES OF GREY, BLACK AND WHITE.

​

THIS WAS SUCCESSFUL, AS IT WAS MY FIRST TIME PAINTING IMAGES LIKE THIS USING BLACK AND WHITE, AS IT WAS VERY RESTRICTING. IT WAS ALSO VERY INTERESTING, MAKING DIFFERENT SHADES OF THE SAME COLOUR, AND APPLYING IT TO BLEND WITH DARKER AND LIGHTER COLOURS.
