Easter Eggs

The goal of this project was to try to make the eggs really look round in my painting. I accomplished this by paying attention to the different colors produced by each shadow. Also, by having a layer of red underneath my painting, the warm tone was able to bring all my pieces together. Composition and shadows were a major part of this project because the placement of my objects created unique shadows that made the eggs look 3D.The most difficult part for me was getting the correct shape of the egg (not almond), and the colors to put in the cracks that are in the middle of each egg. However, there were parts of my paining that also work nicely. For example, the reflection of the pink egg in my purple egg really added some depth to my painting. In this project I continued to learn the importance of simplicity and painting quickly. Working with longer brush strokes simplified my work which gave it a nice look. I liked how Jillian added the chicken into her composition because it matched the theme and made her artwork more interesting. If I could redo this, one thing I would change is the shape of my pink egg because it is still a little pointed at the tip and I'm just now noticing. I think the best park of my work was getting the correct colors on my egg and the placements of the lights and darks to give them a rounder look.
