Question: Painting help!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
Alright, so i want to paint a picture!. I want it to symbol something important to me!. I want to use shape, color, and texture to symbolize something!. Although, i dont know where to start!. I want my picture to be simple but apealing to the eye!. I want people to stand there, looking at it trying to figure it out!. Trying to think of what it shows!. Thin to themselves, "This is very simple, but yet what does it mean what does it show!? What is it!?" Can you please help me! Www@QuestionHome@Com

Honestly, the only way to achieve this effect is to draw or paint something that isn't something allready!. or is a mixture of things well known - for exmple, a bike wheel including the section of bike its connected to, which seemingly looks as though its part of a tree!. This would get people wandering about the meaning behind!. Of course I just pulled this idea out of my fantasist mind but if you thought of two objects that mean something to you, or an emotion that you want to focus on and then two objects or shapes that link to the emotion you may just find that your mind and hand create something quite effortlessly!. You can't force what your picture is to turn out like unless you copy something all ready done!.
So you need to ask yourselfs the questions - what is important to me!? Maybe this is to narrow minded and you could expand your ideas of what is imporant to include what you like, who you aspire to, what you despise!.!.!.etc!. etc!.
Then just give whatever you think of a go!. Treat it like a test run, just sketch or paint and you could just surprise yourself!.
Let me know how it goes : )Www@QuestionHome@Com

senior year i took an eye and had me peeking out of the retina and then in the other area i had past memories painted in!.!.!.!.


you take something that represents something EX: an eye or a time machine to rep past

Try making a collage of things in real and representative form

use dark thick colors for bad and for good use light airy colors

maybe use some overlapping and lines to create transitionWww@QuestionHome@Com
