this is when i transition from a sketch to a painting. after feeling good about the proportions, i quickly do a color study of what the subject consists of. at this point, i try not to look at the overall subject, but strictly the colors and shapes it’s made of. many many layers of this and my emotions and mental being is taken from me. needless to say, breaks are necessary 😁

Since I can’t really post anything I’m really working on at the moment.. Here’s another sketch of my “For the Love of French Hair” Series.

When I listen to music that moves me to create or to get energized, sometimes I wonder at the brilliance of this artist for writing such beauty. To know what level to carry their voice, to use the right music tracks. There’s so many levels to it that intimidate me to even think about. And then I remember that this is not the artist’s first work.. I imagine years of creating what he thought were final drafts, but only to be put into the garbage. Years of sleepless nights working, and throwing away. Until finally. The coal has been pressured into a diamond. And I tell myself that this is me. This is my work. A different pace, yes. An entire different animal. But the same.
Painting faces is like doing an intricate puzzle. One that cannot be undone. One that has to start in the right order from the very beginning or else it falls apart like a million dominoes towards the end and the only thing to do is to start again. It takes a lot of patience, a lot of chocolate, a lot of second guessing myself, a lot of dishes sitting in the sink. But once the puzzle is complete, I feel complete, too.
Sometimes the hard part about being an artist is letting go of something that you truly love and know that you will never, ever see it again….expect for when I scroll through my old iPhone photos ;) But still, it feels a piece of me is gone after all the emotional energy that went into it. //#art #creative #artistproblems
