My painting takes place at night and depicts a bathroom, hallway, some doors, and the beginning of a small staircase. This piece fits into the given assignment because it portrays an interior space with openings, such as the doors and bathroom entrance. My creative intention was to make a painting that was relatively simple and slightly abstract. I chose to paint this hallway because it was the least cluttered part of my house. While I was painting, I incorporated only the most important elements of the space into my piece. I left out minor details like the clothes hangers in the bathroom; this is because I felt the painting wouldn\u2019t be much different without them. This painting was almost completely done from observation. I only used photo references for the stairs and other small details. I worked on this painting throughout the day, even when the light began to change. I used warm colors because the other three paintings I did for this class were cool colored. My research informed my studio outcome by inspiring some of the visual elements of my piece. I was inspired by the genre paintings in my professor\u2019s book An Artist’s Handbook: Materials and Techniques. Before I started on my painting, I read the article Inside which was also written by my professor. This article featured various works by artists like Edward Hopper and Hammersh\u00f8i. I was particularly inspired by the paintings and pencil sketches featured in the article. I felt that this research I did was necessary and that it positively influenced my painting. This was my first time painting an indoor space, and overall I\u2019m happy with the way it turned out.<\/p>\n
