6/30:
I decided to take my abstract paintings and make them a lot bigger for my summer project. I got new pallette knives so I would have something new to work with, and I'm planning on using my pointers from my last critique to make this painting. I really want to blend more of the colors together while it's wet. I ended up starting with that blue color that was similar to my last painting which was unintentional. 7/18: I think the one thing holding me back from this painting is my lack of color choice. With the school paints now back at school it's hard for me to get creative and make the colors I want to. Right now (3rd picture) its giving me too much 2014 scene tumblr type color scheme so I'm trying to add more neutral tones. I'm loving how the colors are blending together while they're wet though. I also forgot to mention that I'm getting color inspiration from crystals. All crystals have certain healing properties and help with certain aspects of your life. I'm turning my summer into a painting by using colors of crystals that have either helped me or describe what I have been experiencing. This is slightly difficult though because I do not have a lot of paint. That's definitely something I either need to pick up from school, get at Plaza, or invest in myself. 8/29: I don't know. I'm happy with it but also not happy with it. I blended my colors, I painting the background with the dirty white which I love, and I think I have a good composition. I think the crucial thing is the color I start with. I don't have a lot of colors here, but I wish I started with a warmer tone. The blue was inspired by Blue Calcite and Angelite, even though those crystals have more of a light blue tone rather than green, because I've been traveling with those everyday. I don't think it worked in my favor, and I'll be going in a warmer direction with my next painting. I, however, do enjoy the larger canvas much more than any of the smaller ones I've worked with. I think I'll be continuing on this path and using my critiques from this painting on my next ones to make them progress more. I think this painting is visually similar to my last one, but white more blending and slightly more elevated skill.
