The ideas and techniques present in the cubist work that we looked at were: overlapping; drawing objects on to of each other, interlocking shape, and fragmented. The cubist painter who inspired me to paint like the cubists was Braque. In my opinion he is a very good painter and knows how to use colours well.
I used some of those techniques in the development of my own work by showing perspective. I drew it very carefully that it would look realistic. I drew the objects in collage which made the painting look abstract and interesting. I overlapped the objects to make them look like the painting was done in the cubist period.
The way I planned my final composition was that I thought about how to make it, bold, colourful, and attractive. I made lots of pencil lines on the black final paper so then I chose the right line to follow the chalk on. That gave me a perfect outline for the objects to be overlapped.
The method that I used colour in my final painting is the following: complementary colours; it helps the bright colour look even more bright when it is painted next to its opposite colour or any dark colour, limited colours; I did not use too many colours. I painted the same colour in all different places and only used colours which were in the same group. The techniques that I use to emphasise the edge and surface was texture and pattern, in different space I either used the paint brush in a different mode or I painted a little pattern inside the area of space.
I think that I can improve my painting by separating the areas of abstract shapes more with black and clear lines. I should have more contrast of the colours to show brightness. I also think that I should have drawn the items more accurately and spent more time on that, than colouring in the painting.
