For this project we had to pick an interior we wanted to create and the first thing my mind went to was a picture I took when I went on a trip with my best friend over the summer of an abandoned building. The original picture I took looked like it was basically all black and white in the first place except it had a few brown tones in it, but I wanted to stick with blacks and whites for this piece because it seemed like a fun challenge. I've always loved using charcoals, so I chose that as my medium, but drew on a black piece of paper rather than plain old white paper.
This is an in progress picture of the piece when I was still figuring out what parts of the original photo I wanted to include since the paper was shaped differently. I had a lot of fun creating this piece and got a lot of good feedback from others during class that watched me create this. I got good tips on blending from my classmates and figured out a few good techniques to get the shading right.
This picture is the final product. I ended up adding the ceiling in the picture which I was hesitant to do because I didn't want it to take away from the focus on the door and the flooring, but I loved how it turned out. While making this I learned how to blend the white and black charcoal to make different variations of grey's for the board that were leaning against the wall and for smaller details. I always ridicule the little details in my pieces so I tried my best at adding all the knots and spots where the paint was chipped in the door and I am very pleased with how it turned out. The texture in the wood looks fantastic and I can't help but daydream about going back to this exact place.
