Unit 11 - Direct Observation vs. Principles of Optics



Here I have posted two drawing I found under direct observations. The first one I specifically searched for and is of Rose in the Titanic when she is getting drawn in a portrait of herself. Since it is a drawing the use of color is not really necessary compared to the painting I have posted which would have no life or energy if not for the blue sky and water. The detail in the portrait features definition in the hands, fingers, face, nose, hair and arms in comparison to the beach painting which i'd consider more of an abstract. The main aspect for this difference would go hand in hand with the title of the unit Direct Observation because the drawing deals literally with directly observing Rose while in the process of creating the work, while the painting came from memory so the deatil is less seen. This also deals with each individual artists' style.
