Georgia O'Keeffe Crital Study FMP

 
Georgia O'Keeffe is an amazing artist who creates a variety of art work with a particular style. She mainly paints enlarged images of flowers which are done in oil. I believe looking at her style and choice of media she does well to compose a soft shape with subtle and light tones in her floral pieces. Her work almost has a 3D effect and it has altogether soft and she almost does this intricate work effortlessly. I chose to take in mind O’Keeffe’s work as the soft tones and eye catching effects are what I want to make my Pin Up centre piece really stand out and be bold. If i don't use her enlarged way I may use her choice of colour blending and tonal work.
This Piece I have chosen to do is very colourful and ranges from pinks to blues which I find very interesting as again it manages to be subtle, possibly due to the form or the shape. There’s light shadowing in black but it doesn’t take the lightness away from the piece. It’s realistic yet it’s different to how you would see a flower. This piece was done in Oil.
My version of this piece has similar shape, however, the tones could be softer and much lighter. My blending isn't brilliant but I found it hard to blend due to using Acrylic rather than Oil. I believe this piece could be better altogether. There’s not much to it like can be said about O’Keeffe’s work. I don't think I will use this in my final piece as there’s is a lot of room for improvement and I don't believe I have the time it would take me to create work like this to the standard of O'Keeffe.
