The Lady in Roses


Hi Guys,

This is another piece from me and now I am a bit crazy with the halftone technique. It does make your drawing looking damn good. For real! So, as in my planning maybe in the next few days or weeks perhaps, I will reveal the best of Vanitas! 
vanitas, ( Latin , "vanity" ) Still Life, oil on wood by Willem Claesz Heda, 1634; in the Museum …
[Credit: Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam]in art, a genre of still-life painting that flourished in the Netherlands in the early 17th century. Avanitas painting contains collections of objects symbolic of the inevitability of death and the transience and vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures; it exhorts the viewer to consider mortality and to repent. The vanitas evolved from simple picture of skulls and other symbols of death and transience frequently painted on the reverse sides of portraits during the late Renaissance. It had acquired an independent status by c. 1550 and by 1620 had become a popular genre.See more here.


Yup, I already linked the blog owned by one of the Vanitas artist: Fernando Vicente. And here also, I provided with video on how to do halftone dot effects on your image/drawing and credit to Glazefolio Design Blog. Check these blogs out!

Below is the only Lady in Roses!

Halftone 
A method of generating on press or on a laser printer an image that requires varying densities or shades to accurately render the image. This is achieved by representing the image as a pattern of dots of varying size. Larger dots represent darker areas, and smaller dots represent lighter areas of an image.See also: Combination Halftone

Pop Art

As mentioned in the topic, it is POP ART

pop' art'




"an art movement that began in the U.S. in the 1950s and reached its peak of activity in the 1960s, chose as its subject matter the anonymous, everyday, standardized, and banal iconography in American life, as comic strips, billboards, commercial products, and celebrity images, and dealt with them typically in such forms as outsize commercially smooth paintings, mechanically reproduced silkscreens, large-scale facsimiles, and soft sculptures.See also : Pop Art

Personally, I adore very much artworks presented by Richard Phillips. The way he manipulated his inspiration creatively into Pop Art really amazing, till worldwide known his large-scale glossy hyper-realistic artworks. He used pictorial magazine style and it is kind a trademark for the masterpieces. Cool rite?

So, if you are Pop Art enthusiasts, why don't you try to produce one? It is worth the effort.
