I filmed the painting for this and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I sort of tried this asmr thing but all the camera seemed to pick up was me breathing and I breathe really heavily apparently πŸ’€ I might do two versions, one with a voiceover and one without, why not double the work and avoid coming up with a new idea. 😏

I always seem to get caught between wanting to make art that really means something to me and art that's low pressure πŸ’¦ one feels more fun, one feels more fulfilling, and whichever direction I go I miss the other πŸ•ΈοΈ for now I will keep going.

I finally painted something 😌 I used actual oil paint instead of water mixable oil paint and I'm in love, why did I wait so long? 😍

the finished painting! any title ideas? I was going for an x-ray effect but I really have no idea if that's where the bones are supposed to go πŸ’€ also she sort of turned into an elf by accident. this is one of those paintings I talk about sometimes where it feels like something clicked into place. I wish I'd filmed the process so I could watch it back! but the takeaways for my future paintings are: get creative with references, focus on looseness and have good background noise. πŸ’«

for this painting I was trying to capture more of those loosey goosey impressionist vibes I used a lot last year, which is definitely my favourite way to paint. πŸ’¦

messy beginnings 😌 the most inspirational advice I ever heard about writing (which can easily apply to art as well) is that when you start anything you are the furthest away from your complete idea as you can get, which is why it feels so far away from perfect, but every step you take forward from there gets you closer and closer to your idea being real πŸŒπŸ’—
getting back into the swing of painting. feels like the swing is eluding me for now but I'll keep going πŸ‘€ trying to work it out in the work. πŸ˜„
