The Football Player

Art and Writing by: Emmi Leard

This art piece was finished September 28, 2023. This piece is made with acrylic paint on a canvas. My visual for this piece was to have the player in the center in full color, as the camera is focused on him, while the rest of the painting is in black and white.

My process of creating this piece started with the player in color. I painted him first then painted the black and white around him. 

The toughest part of this project was the bleachers in the back. I struggled with the dimension of it and how it sits. Another part of the project I struggled with was painting the man standing on the other side of the fence. The shading on his legs is meant to be a lot darker since he is further away from the players so it took time to make him look realistic.
