It Flows

I created this piece of work for my girlfriend. Her favorite color is blue so I figured since I did the rest of my work for people special to me I should make one for her too. She loves it. My work actually came out way better than I suspected it to. I did it a little sloppy but a messy artist is a dedicated one! I wanted to have that galaxy effect at first but I felt like that was a little to complicated for me to do in such a short amount of time so I had just decided to go with a wavy kind of flowy background.
I think it says “water” or “ocean”. It’s such a pretty blue it might even make you a little nostalgic. Looking at it for a long period of time will allow you to see how the paint flows into each other, you may just be able to identify the technique I used to achieve that flow. I think I achieved another level of experience when working with these paints and techniques. It’s very different from what I’ve done in the past which is what my goal was, to do something different.

There's a painting by David Munroe called “fade Into You”
. His painting is similar to mine when it comes to the style of having two or more colors fading into one another without lines.

First I chose 3 colors; blue, white and black. I used those colors to create a mixing guide that would allow me to make several colors out of the 3. After doing that I was able to save the colors I made. I initially chose three other colors that was made from the mixing guide, I don't want to spoil them so I won't say which ones but when starting my work I took heed to the kind of brushes that i decided to use and started from there. Using a lighter color mix at the top and a more darker one at the bottom.
It doesn’t have that kind of impact on my life. It’s just something that was fun to do, you know? I can say that I’ve created a painting like that and am able to show it to my friends and family. I personally don’t believe that it will have any kind of impact or could for that matter.

For the painting that I’ve created you need to have a medium sized brush and have a straight hand. The curves are very noticeable so you must try your best to keep your lines straight. You don't want you brush to be too wet because then your paint will have been too watery and wet and would require you to apply more than one coat to have your painting bold with the color of your choice. For this painting i chose to go horizontally rather than vertical so it will look like it would go on forever if it could. Like I have always said, I compromise every time I do a new piece. I come up with an idea of how i want it to look and then I shoot.
Overall as you can see the work I produce is a reflection of my thought process when it comes to doing new creative things. I'm a risk taker, i feel as though when I think too hard it doesn't come out the way I picture it in my head.
