This painting is a painting of the Metallica album master of puppets. I choose this painting because this is one of the first paintings I have ever painted. Before i get into details i'd like to give you the backround of what this painting means to me. Metallica is the first band that really got me into music. Deeper within metallica is the song Master of puppets by them is the biggest reason of my passion for guitar. With my love for guitar, metallica and art i have drawn the letters on the logo before. I really like how i have added the yellow to red shading to really make the letter pop out much more then they did before. The red hands behind the letters was really tuff for me. I basically used red twards the center of the hands and added black little by little to the red as i worked outside. I used a q-tip to help spread, and fade the paint. What i do like about the painting is the grass and cross tomstones. The grass is like dead, dried out, and cracked. The best way i found to get this effect is that i used a really thick neelde almost. With that i got thin lines that looked like grass blads and the needle gave the scratchy, dead grass look well. Overall i like how it turned out.
