Francoise Nielly By Eva opoku
Subject: The first knife painting at the top is of a well known actress called Marylin Monroe (Female). You can tell that she is a female by the way her lips are shaped and how her blond hair cascades down her cheeks.
Colour: The colours Nielly's used to paint Marilyn are harmonising colours (colours that go well together). This element of colour shows most on the lips. The colours Francoise used were colours associated with titanium white (on the upper and lower lip), scarlet pink (on the upper and lower lip, surrounding the titanium white) and blood red (on the sides of her lips). Nielly's also used different shades of banana yellow for hair such as chocolate gold, grass green and swamp green.
Composition: Miss Monroe's head is slightly tilted to the left but her eyes are facing the opposite direction.
Texture: Miss Monore's features stand out. Her features are outlined so they don't blend in. If you feel this knife portrait, her features, such as her nose, would feel tender and gentle.
Subject: This knife portrait is of a lady. You can tell that this is a woman because unlike men, ladies have larger lips. Another feature of this lady that gives away her gender is her cheekbones. Women's cheekbones have more depth than men's.
Colour: Nielly, just like the piece she did for Marilyn, as focuses more on harmonising colours. The most common colours on this portrait are baby pink (situated around her cheeks and eyes), peach (on her nose and under her eyes), sunset orange and pale pink.
Composition: Just like Miss Monroe, this woman has tilted her head to the left but kept hers eyes to the right/centre.
Texture: I think this piece would feel quite smooth but a little bit rough. This lady as cheek bones which would make it a bit curvy.
Subject: This knife painting is of a lady. I can tell this because her lips are large.
Colour: The main colours used in this pics are scarlet pink (used on the lips),banana yellow (found on the nose and the right cheek) and lavender purple (found down the left cheek and under her right eye).
Composition: This woman's head is tilted slightly upwards along with her eyes.
Texture: I think this piece would feels oft on the parts where Nielly blended in the colours and rough her she used a knife to do her lines.
Subject: This, again, is a portrait of a woman. You can tell that she is this specific gender, female, because her lips look bigger than a man's lips.
Colour: The main colours in this pice are titanium white (In her eyes, on her nose, her bottom lip and a all over her left cheek), pale pink, scarlet
Composition: This woman is looking directly at the person observing this piece but her head I stilted to the left.
Texture: This piece would feel smoother than the other 3 pieces.
