Emma Whitford Final Project — Painting

For my final project I chose to work with paint for the first time. It was quite the learning experience. Below is my finished product, the result of several failed attempts. I was intent on making my figures not just look like people (hard enough), but two specific people (good friends, a little stressful).

The little painting is one of my early exercises with color. I’ve been thinking a lot about what colors compliment each other. How can I make images jump off of a canvas?
