Auditorium piece

Reference

Final piece

This was my auditorium 50s piece. I wanted to capture the true essence of the 50s. Whenever I think of the 50s I think of old, retro tv's and new technology. I looked on Pinterest and typed 50s tvs and found the reference picture that is attached. I started off by doing it in my sketchbook in graphite then I finished it off by adding watercolor. When doing my final piece, I started with a light outline in graphite. After this, I added my watercolor. To give the tv more of a realistic look, I added darker and lighter brownish hues. To create the colors of the tv, I used colored pencil. I tried to use very vibrant colors.
