Palette knife painting

Painting with the palette knife definitely created some challenges for me. However, it made the painting fun because it reminded me of icing a cake. What frustrated me the most was the shoe laces and making them look realistic and not blend in with the shoe. I overcame the frustration by concentrating on the light and the red that reflected in the shoe. I would definitely use the pallet knife again because it made it easier to simplify and it was fun to paint with. My thinking while using the palette knife was more simplified

Motion with a sense of stillness and What i obsess over

Glass of water

For my tall glass of water oil painting I considered the size, view, placement. I put the glass towards the middle of the painting but i was sitting at an angle which made the view point interesting. I really thought of the water as shapes of dark and light colors. I also created a sense of transparency. My ellipses and and viewpoints are correct and consistent. My paint colors are very much clean and clear. I completed the painting in the allotted time because i didn't get distracted and was very focused at all times. The object that I chose reflects that I like music.

Joy Series

My joy series is about the feeling of being in the air. I did gymnastics for 11 years and there is nothing like the feeling of flipping in the air.

Where do i spend my time?

The places where i spend most of my time is in my room. Whenever i have free time i usually like to spend it relaxing in my room

Family

My family means a lot to me. I dont only consider my direct family to be   part of my family but i also consider my best friends katie and sydney family because i have known them for so long and they mean everything to me. My gymnastics team has also become my second family because we spend so much time together and we all work together and love eachother very much
