The Process :
The Land Of Eternal Hope
My artwork represents Eritrea, which is where I'm originally from, and it's a country located in the Horn of Africa. The sea on the bottom shows three colors, which are based on the Eritrean flag and the sun as well. The blue represents the Red Sea, red symbolizes the sacrifices made for independence, the green represents the land, and the sun represents peace. The girl on the boat is based on a popular song in Eritrea called "Semira," which tells the story of a girl from Eritrea who goes missing and is found by the sea.
Pumpkin painting:
My pumpkin is based on a picture I took. My goal for this painting was to make it somewhat realistic. I used acrylic painting. After I sketched and painted my pumpkins, they didn't turn out as I wanted, so I came up with the idea to add a Roblox face to make them more interesting. For the background, I decided to paint it black, add stars, and the moon, because I was running out of time, and it turned out well. I also added ghost kittens for extra background. For the other one pumpkin that I didn't paint, Roblox face. I decided to give it a witch hat and gave the big pumpkin a candy corn as a hat.
Fruit Painting:
My fruit is called passion fruit. I chose this fruit to paint because my favorite color is purple, and the inside was complex, so I decided to go with it to improve my art. As you can see in the center, I initially drew only 5 passion fruits, but then I noticed I had some space left, so I decided to add more. For the background, I painted it light purple and then added white circles and mini passion fruit so my paint doesn't seem like it wasn't completed. I added leafs and white dots to make it shiny because I wanna learn how to make it realistic.
Anything but a Canvas :
I chose to go with the car toy because I wanted to challenge myself to improve my art and wanted to do something different. The process was long. I painted the car with glitter glue so the colors would stay on, then I painted it with acrylic paint to make it darker, then designed it with a pencil and painted it with Posca markers. My art was inspired by Henna design, and in the top middle, I went with Christmas designs. It's a gift for my sister since it's her car.
