Hand drawn quick sketch
For my Expressive Figure Painting, I tried to use color, line and composition in order to create a cold and estranged feeling.
I believe that the final draft of the painting (Featured image) manages to communicate the senses of remoteness, solitude and alienation.
Although Mustard (or flax) is perceived as a warm color, I chose it rather than an obvious colder color, to project hope to the otherwise cold image.
I decided not to add value to the objects in the background in order to make them flat looking and inconspicuous. This way, the focus will be on the painted figure.
Below are drafts of my digital painting:
