The Process |
This original composition was very inspiring to me, taking inspiration from Salvador Dalí I distorted the clock with my own twist. I thoroughly enjoyed piecing together my chosen objects, to represent the phenomenons. Laying out all my colors on my palette gave me the creative freedom to dive into whatever felt right in that moment. As I was going through the process of making this, I learned a lot about not being afraid to spend time doing something over, or even changing my mind completely about something. As you can see in my progression photo, the vase was not the same shape at first. I felt a different shape would fit the piece better and I wasn't afraid to alter my original sketch design after I already started the painting. I also added in the heart about 1/4 through, out of intuition. The highlights in making this were these exact challenges, because they pushed me and I now feel more confident in my art practice. I enjoyed working on the final touches, and peeling my eyes for any additional desired details. This painting excites me for the future, because I know I will be able to communicate deep concepts, and uniquely find my own way to visually express them. The re-work my brushstrokes, aided in my intended loose and expressive feeling for this. Overall, I am beyond proud of my journey that I went through while creating this artwork.
