Acrylic Painting - Nike's shoe

Acrylic Painting - Nike's shoe

My art exercise - to draw an iconic items, where at one glance, people would know what brand it is.

I googled for many branded items i.e Coca-Cola, 7 Up, 100 plus, Nike, Adidas, etc and I have chosen Nike.

To me, Nike is famous for its shoes. I love their shoes' design, it's always so striking and outstanding among other brands. Therefore, I searched for the most beautiful shoes I could find and tata, the below painting ->

Acrylic Painting - Tropical Plants

Acrylic Painting - Tropical Plants

One of the subjects I have to fulfill in my art lesson.

First of all, I had to paint the background with a middle green. Then, slowly grow the trees and plants one by one.

It's not a easy task as before this, I painted exactly according to the picture but this time, I had to crop some of the plants and decide where should I place them.

In terms of colour selection is tough too because I had to segregate the plant/tree's colour with the background colour. In other words, I had to either choose a lighter than background's green or darker.

Well, honestly I don't really enjoy this exercise, but indeed, the skills and knowledge I learnt will benefit in my next painting.
