Medium: Painting
Materials: Red Bister on Paper

Genre: Stilllife object
Style: Expressionistic
The artist uses dot-like splashes to create what looks like blood drops. Blood drops that portray death and blood shed. The dot-like splashes create an outward burst. Line is used by the artist to create the flag stands and masts. The shape or height and width of the painting is very large to show to the viewer the enormity of the ship and painting. Light and Value is represented with the dark tone spots to create and give an illusion of damage. Color is represented with the bold red, to show fire or death from fighting. Texture from this painting is both real and imagined, it has a sfumato effect that blurs the image slightly. It contains a bit of chairoscuro with the light and dark splatters. The painting does a very good job of evoking blood shed and the pain it causes.
