Eagle on a Rock (2009) A3, Poster Color
This artwork shows the side view of a colorful eagle standing on a rock in the middle of the ocean with the sunset in the background. It was done using poster paints with a mixture of warm and cool colors used.
This artwork reflects the Impressionists style with the bright and colorful palette used for the eagle’s body, which seem to make it stand out more as compared to the background. The eagle also appears to be three-dimensional through the use of different tones and of carefully blended color. The composition of the painting is fairly balanced.
Another evidence of the Impressionists style is the lack of realism in the artwork in terms of the colors used for the eagle and the sunset. Swift and broken brushstrokes are also applied in impasto style for the background as well as the feathers of the eagle, which are made obvious by the swift brushstrokes of pure white at its chest. The eagles’ eyes also give a look of alertness and curiosity; similar to that of an animal that has just spotted its prey.
