This is my painting of the bark (as painted previously). I decided to paint both sides of the bark as I found the contrast between the smooth, light underneath and the rough, darker outside very interesting. This led me to use contrasting marks to try and replicate the textures. I alternated between a palette knife and a paintbrush , also adding in some stippling and crosshatching. I tried to reproduce the colours as closely as I could with my set of primary coloured acrylics.
I like this piece of work as I feel I have shown the contrast between the textures through my use of marks and colours. I enjoyed using different techniques, such as scratching into the paint with the palette knife to create a crosshatched effect, as this made the painting more visually interesting and 3 dimensional.
