Similarities
All three of these pieces have similar textures. Texture refers to how the art looks like it would feel. My piece is smooth and appears that way because the ink is smoothed across the paper. Nelson art works as a smooth texture on the skin of the people. All of the pieces both have balance everything is weighed out evenly on each piece.

Differences
The biggest difference between Nelson's artwork and mine is the medium. Block print and painting are very different and have very different methods. My original choice of medium was colored pencil, but since I decided to do block print I could only really do the features and expressions similar.
Color is obviously very different. My piece consists of black and white which gives it a flat look because there aren't any other colors or shades to give it depth or variation. Nelson's art is not one-dimensional and he uses a range of different colors to make it appear that way. The color gives it a life-like appearance which I appreciate in his work. |
