Rec | PAINTING IT OUT

Rec

🖼️

still in progress but felt like sharing. i was inspired to create this after a really nasty interaction with a professional artist that left me questioning my entire career.
i wanted to tackle the idea of making something beautiful out of something deeply painful. i've somewhat lost the fire i had for it, but i still really feel the imagery in my soul.
also built and stretched the canvas all myself!

post-heartbreak painting

made this a few months ago when i was feeling much worse, but it finally got me to put my hands on a canvas again & figure out my art style! i'm so proud of it; it's one of the first things that turned out like i wanted it to in my head. (i like going back over the painting with white paint pen & black ballpoint pen to make it look more sketchy & graphic)

PAINTING FOR FUN

It's fundamental
I haven't painted in a long while, being a visual artist for so long I just sort of dipped terribly at some point and haven't touched a paintbrush in a ridiculous amount.
Getting my hair done with a few friends today and, seeing one of them working on a piece, decided it was time to shake off the old canvas and brush.

Painting again

Painted on a big format for the first time ever! I bought a bigger canvas than I ever had before following a friend’s rec but I didn’t try painting on it until two months after I bought it.
I painted without looking at the time for hours and I’m so happy. Nowhere near done but I hadn’t felt the peace and flow of creation in so long, it’s the only thing that matters.
