Silhouette painting by: Jaden Nelson

Silhouette painting is a technique that I learned in my drawing and painting 1 class. A silhouette is an image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, with its edges matching the outline of the subject. In this picture I painted a picture of a dragon, with a background of trees, a lake, and the sky. I chose a dragon as my object because they are magnificent creatures and they are very eye catching in artwork.
