Artist's Comments

OH DEAR GOD FULL VEIW!!!!!
so this ended up being both my present to my dad and my IB self-directed project...unfortunately, i had no red paint when i handed it in, so the balloons were basically plain white...

in this picture i discovered my extreme love for gouache...so much more versatile than watercolour with such a greater range in colour...so nice to work with...

basically, it's an interpret-as-you-will, as i can't put my interpretation in words...

pencil (mechanical and drafting), gouache, cardstock, on bristol

scarf man and art (c) me

Sometimes, life throws trials your way. In which case you should always have something to throw back at it.

Who DOESN'T hear 99 red balloons when they hear those words?
I Love this so much more now that the balloons are painted! (never tried gouache, I need to paint more)
