On our trip to the City Gallery, I found the painting I
wanted to research and analyse very quickly.
I was drawn to the bright colours and unusual shapes that were drawn. I chose a painting by Selina Snow named
‘Vishnu’s feet’ because it reminded me of an Indian culture which is very close
to my heart as my Mother’s side of the family are from India.
The painting also reminded me of reflexology which I find
interesting to research. It fascinates
me how a different part of your foot can be linked to different parts of your
body. I like the use of light and dark
colours used in this painting. For
example the darker purple outlining the lighter purple feet could be seen as
lip liner and lipstick for a make-up look.
The flowers and leaves also caught my attention as I found
them vibrant and beautiful. I feel each
flower was carefully thought about and every detail was put in. This aspect of the painting reflects make-up
in the way in which each detail counts.
Everything has its place which means the overall finish is amazing and
is worth the time putting together.
In terms of turning this into a make-up look I would focus
on defining the features. For example –
using a strong lip pencil to outline the lips along with a bold colour would
catch people’s attention. I would then
use soft colours on the eyes such as beiges and browns, but I would then use
bold black eyeliner. I feel this would
keep the attention across the whole face rather than drawing attention to one
area. This is how the painting appeared
to me, the artist didn’t have a focus point and wanted the whole painting to be
looked at.
