Painting in the Style of Rosenquist

           My painting is in the style of James Rosenquist. I used mod podge to attach pictures I printed and took of Costa Rica. I then used acrylic paint to change the background color and add additional highlights, shades, and value. I also used the paint to blend the parts together, as Rosenquist did. In his early years, Rosenquist was a billboard painter. He received many grants and scholarships in his life to attend multiple schools and universities. After starting and becoming successful in art, He became a full time artist. His artwork is considered a part of the pop-art era. He used collages of random things and blended them together with bright colors.
