Art Movement Project Update #4: Artwork Process

If you read my previous updates you'll find that I bought a piece of wood and some white spray paint. I applied the white paint as the base coat once and then coat the wood heavily with the white paint a second time as part of the painting's white background.

 Next, I took a marker and began drawing the horizontal and vertical lines with the help of the 'T' ruler (a special ruler that can stick to an object's side plane). I started from the top to the bottom. This first side of the painting is for the normal De Stijl self-portrait with the use of primary colours which is red, blue, and yellow.

After the first side's horizontal and vertical lines are drawn, I flipped the wood to draw on the next side of the wood. This time the image of the De Stijl self-portrait is flipped making it look like an inside out mirrored image. The choice of colours for this side of the painting is different than the previous side but I won't reveal it now though. It's a secret. For now.

For the first side of the wood, I painted it using the three primary colours (red, blue, and yellow). The elements of each painted rectangle kept their relationship between each other by connecting the painted rectangles together.

 For the other side I used green, purple, and red. This colour choices reminds of the Joker in many ways and I will explain the reason why I choose these colours in the next update.

Before the presentation, I managed to touch up my painting with a little white paint and my markers.
