Love of Music

Color Pencil + Watercolor

As someone who is musically-inclined (I play the piano and violin) ...  I wanted to create an art piece depicting music.

This piece has quite a lot of "interest" and uses many art elements of design and principles of design within the piece. For example, repetition is present with the music notes as well as the black keys. There is flow with the ribbon that leads the eye from the left to the bottom to the right. 

Do you spot the mistake within the art?

Yes, I made a mistake within this piece. Do you see it?

Look carefully.

Did you find it?

Yes, if you said that I put too many black keys at the bottom of the piece, you are right! I accidentally added an extra black key where there shouldn't be one. 

How did I create this piece?

I first lightly sketched out the work with pencil, then put light watercolor wash over certain areas of the piece. Then I went in and color penciled in the flowers, music notes, flute, and piano keys.
