Narrow (Low Key)
Broad
Here are my collages for Project #3
For the first One, i was making my focus the bell shaped figure, surrounded by a dark frame (disregard the gloss around it, the lighting was not the best in the pictures). As for the second one, i went for variety, although it feels a bit lopsided, but i wanna see what others think i should do before i make major changes to it. does it need more or lesss? I would appriciate some feedback.
Narrow Value Collage. Wanted to use the pencils as the line for the Rule of Thirds to help me find the focal point.
I wish I could have done it a little cleaner
Finished Gouache Painted Scale ~ Took 6hrs to complete.
This is a low-key image that i would say is the opposite of the image below as far as how the mood is. Think of being in the room once again, but this time, its at night, where the only light you have is the glow of the moon, thus giving the dim beam of light that comes in the room. Imagine if you came in the room at night and it looks like this, wouldnt you feel a sence of discomfort and unsafety. As if the shadow in the corner was concealing something away from your eye. Or if something was going to come out and attack you suddenly from nowhere.
This is a hi-key image, where the focus comes from the left side where the light is illuminating from. The mood it portrays is asi if your trapped in a blank room, with nothing but one window inside of that room. But all you see through that window is a blank ocean. As if you were helpless and alone, isolated from the rest of the world. the only thing that gives you a sence of comfort is that one window in the room, illuminating most of the darkness thats in the room.

Gouache White to Black
Here is my value scale from white to black. I have used different pencils to finish the scale such as 6H, 2H, HB, 2B, and 4B.
The second picture is my gouache experiment. At the beginning, it is hard to feel the sense how gouaches can be painted flat and naturally. However, it is a great opportunity to understand how the gouaches can be mixed together.
Low Key
In the first picture, the picture is showing that the light color surrounding the dark color. In the middle part of the picture, a dark color carrying a feeling of scare. It gives a feeling that something is inside. The first picture will be considered as a high key picture, because the picture has more light color than dark color.
In the second picture, the picture is showing that the dark color surrounding the light color. Once again, the middle part of the picture shaped out a letter “C” with light color. I believe if I was able to editing the picture into a more professional way, the picture can be cooler. The second picture will be considered as a low key picture, because the picture is dominating by dark.
