LITTLE VOYAGEUR (2012) BY RAY CAESAR (Homework # 4 Part 2)

LITTLE VOYAGEUR (2012) BY RAY CAESAR  

Little Voyager was created by Ray Caesar in acrylic and digital media on panel. A pattern is used on the girl's coat and the pattern is defined by a grid. A texture is used in the background creating a foggy and dark landscape. All the texture in this piece is implied texture because is a digital media print. Value contrast is shown in this piece by the use contrasting values in the foreground and less dramatic changes in value in the background. Emphasis is created by te light from the pipe that creates more contrasting values. Chiaroscuro is used throughout the picture especially to create the volumes of the girls face and body. Atmospheric perspective is used to show the distance of the landscape from the viewer compared to the closeness of the girl.
