Fast Sunset
Artist Statement
Artist: Charlexia Witcher
For this project, I named my artwork “Fast Sunset” because in my art piece, I have the character Sonic as my center piece with the sunset as the background. I wanted my art piece to have a variety of different colors blended together to make different colors. I also wanted Sonic to standout in the middle of the sunset. I also wanted him to be a different color from the background so that it helps him stand out more in the picture. I used soft pastels for my art piece because I really like how the different colors blend together, stand out on black paper, and the texture of the pastels. However, at times, using the pastels was hard because they are very messy and it would smear all over the paper. I had to keep going back over certain areas to make the drawing how I wanted it to look. My artwork expresses how much I like Sonic and a sunset. My goals for this project was to be able to experience using soft pastels on a bigger surface/paper. I learned a lot how to use soft pastels properly and what colors blend together and which ones don't. Overall, I feel that my artwork is good but there is always room for improvement.
