Inspired by colored pencil hyper-realist artist CJ Hendry, Caite wanted to add a unique spin to the University of Tennessee’s ‘Power T’ logo. Caite first experimented with paint and smaller versions of the ‘T’ where she applied oil paint with a palette knife to achieve a wet, dripping design. This 4” by 4” painted ‘T’ was then photographed under different light sources until the perfect shot came to be. Caite then spent 90+ hours drawing the photograph and used 45 different colors and shades of pencils. The final piece was then framed with a black mat and black frame.
