I recreated Klee's painting, Senecio, using the Paint application on Windows. I used a variety of brush tools for shading and the various textures present in the original painting. I was also able to adjust the size of tool depending on the intended. For example, I used thick paint brushed to quickly shade in any of the needed colors. I would draw white pencil over a colored part of the piece, or a spray of a particular color, to add to the unkempt/textured look of the painting.

I also focused on hand-drawing the geometric shapes of the painting. I did not use the pre-made objects in the drawing board, as I think it would go against the self-imagined nature of Klee’s abstract art.

Finding the appropriate or most similar colors were one of the most difficult aspects in recreating the art. I had to explore different shades of red and orange that closely mirrored the ones that I saw in the painting. I also used different shades of red and orange to make the background of my painting look textured, as well as the use of the crayon brush tool in paint to add to the graininess.
