The process of the painting started off by learning about Picasso through a video. After learning about the great artist, I started to draw my horse. First, I drew it exactly, with all the lines and body parts in the correct positions. Then I "Picassoed" it (created it with Picasso's style). I made all my lines straight, added half of the horse's head on top of the original horse's head and added designs that Picasso had in his paintings. I originally had trouble changing my drawing, but overcame this trouble and made the necessary changes. I then added the Dove of Peace and Light of Evil to my drawing. I added these objects because I wanted to add more of Picasso's style, so I added two famous objects from his paintings. I then added mountains in the backround. The next step was to transfer my drawing on the sheet of paper that I would paint it on. To transfer, I had to trace the drawing on to a tracing sheet. I then flipped the tracing sheet over and traced the just copied drawing with the sheet I would paint on under the tracing paper. I was able to see a lighter outline of my objects, which is ideal for painting. I was able to start my painting. I decided to used orange as my main colour because it's a bright colour that goes well with blue (its complimentary colour). I started painting the horse. I used orange and analogous colours of orange in my horse in the form of shapes. I then painted the objects in the middleground using analogous and complimentary colours. I used a dark shade of orange and blue for the backround mountains. I used a light tint of orange around the object in the painting. The last part of the process was outline things within my painting. I used black to do this because it brought out the part that was being outlined. My only major difficulty during the project was changing my piece to look more like Picasso's style. But, I was able to overcome this problem and used Picasso's style throughout the project.
