THE BIG BLOG BY TRAVI$- LONDON EYE

THE ICONIC LONDON EYE-


When you see it you instantly think of London...The Embankment...The River Thames... I like the way it was initially rejected and then eventually people accepted it, now they celebrate it... Our trip on the London Eye was awesome...Thanks Girls...And it immediately made me want to create art based on the concept etc... Manda had already begun to take some great pics of the eye, and eventually we decided to use her picture and base an entire art project around this picture... produce a Photo, an Acrylic, then use the image for a Silk screen, and use it along with a Song Lyric to create a T-Shirt... Anyway... the Photo below is Manda's... This was my starting point...


Picture of the Eye by Me...

Another picture of the Eye by me...

Here is the template of the London Eye after I have removed the color, and the background form Manda's Photo...


So this is going to not only be the template for the silk screen it is also going to be the starting point for my composition in this piece...


Then we tied it Together with a Song... In this case a lyric from The Script...


Me with the Beginning Stages of The London Eye Sky...


The Lyric and the Iconic View work together to echo the place...LONDON

Now with the Clouds..

My Palette... I have begun with the high-lites...working the clouds in...


The beginning of the Clouds in the London Eye Sky Background... UP NEXT... THE EYE... an Altering of the Lyric... and PAINT EFFECTS!


Hope you are liking the artwork...


PEACE,


TRAVIS
