Being able to express myself. What motivates me to do art is the fact that i can make whatever i want. The tools i used were a few different paintbrushes, a pallet knife, a scraper, my pallet and my imagination. I connected this art to myself because it has a sad mood to it and im basically always sad. (unless im not). I wanted the girl in the painting to look sad and i wanted the painting to match the mood so i chose blues and black paints.
texture painting
When i was making this painting I was very happy with how it turned out. It kind of reminded me of something that my sister would paint and shes really good at painting. I made this because i wanted to paint something that had flowers in it. The only flaws i had were the background, which i messed up at first, and the flowers. I want the flowers to all look kind of different but i kind of messed that up like bigtime. Oops. I also used a sharpie to outline the floers and the tree which made it look more polished.
watercolor painting
I made this project because i really wanted to make a person with paint (that looked good, unlike my color theory painting. that one SUCKS.) I ended up really liking how the girl looked and the first time i made the painting i messed up and the colors ran everywhere. I kind of gave up and just messed it all up by finger painting the background she was on. 😎💩🚽👹. I also used soft and hard edges for the painting because i felt that would be the easiest for me to do. I really like painting with water color and i hope to do it again.
