I love color, and the gray scale.
When I say that, I mean I really like color and gray.
Tones of color are the prettiest to me and really easy to make in watercolor! You simply mix a gray and white then add the color of your choosing! Color is amazing because to me, color is an expression of happiness and who doesn't love to be happy? I know I do! Color is all around us and its so cool that we can transfer certain colors back on paper. With art, the possibilities are endless!
Now, how I work is probably waaaaaaay different than how you or anyone else would work. I have to be really interested in what I'm painting before I paint it. I HATE being told to paint something specific. It never comes out right to me. When I start something, I have to finish it right then and there. I could spend anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours just painting something. I either won't stop till its done and if I do stop, I will not finish it. That is one problem I'm trying to fix. I have a lot of artwork I have started but I loose interest so fast, its no wonder I never finish!
Below are 2 of my favorite pieces I did. The one of the girl I did when I was really interested in fashion in 11th grade. I even applied to fashion school! Like I previously stated, I loose interest fairly easily so as you may guess, I changed from wanting to be a fashion major to psychology and don't plan on changing that for awhile.
The second piece is one of my all time favorite! Its such an inspirational quote to me for I used to read his books as a child.
"If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."- Roald Dahl
This painting was relatively easy to paint but has so much meaning behind it. I literally live by this quote. It reminds me to look forward and be as optimistic as humanly possible. Hopefully when you just now read it, it inspired you to apply it to your day to day life.

I really enjoyed reading about how you are into water coloring! I agree that colors can portray our emotions and feelings! I will have to try water coloring sometime, it seems really fun!
ReplyDeleteYou really should! Its so relaxing and fun to do! :)
DeleteI enjoyed reading your blog posts. I think it is incredible how much you know about art and that you use to be interested in fashion design. I think art can be another way for someone to express themselves, what do you think?
ReplyDeleteGood to hear someone enjoys my blog! Hahah! Kidding. I totally agree with on that art is a way of expression. It comes in so many forms and its an inside look on what that person is like!
