Masquerade
Date: College Fourth Year, August 2013
Time: An hour or more
Materials: Acrylic paint, black marker
Description: An abstract painting of an eye with red and white feather-looking fluff coming out of it, making it seem like a mask for a masquerade ball. The feathers blend into the yellow background that fades into white. On the top right corner, there are many circles, swirls and lines drawn in black. On the bottom corner is a red butterfly with a few blue, green, and black spots, and a creature that looks like some sort of sea animal with three thin fins sticking out the back and two black eyes in the front. There are many dots in the light yellow background, looking like confetti.
Artist Comments: This was a pure doodle page so that I could practice with acrylics without having to worry about making things perfect. I painted this on a random magazine, but I had to put paper on it because the pages were too glossy for the paint to stick, so that’s why there is a line in the middle. The page is warped, so I didn’t crop out the place where I took the picture, and I didn’t scan it in because it’s too big for the scanner.
