I recently saw a lot of art pieces where the artist decided to use texture in order to convey emotions, mood, and tone. I was especially fascinated by all the portrays that use abstract colors and texture in order to paint a face. While no features are drawn, they are visible through the use of texture. Inspired by this I wanted to create my own texture portray. While mine did not turn out anywhere near as good as those that I saw I had a lot of fun playing around with different mediums including acrylics and oil paint in order to create this piece.
One of my art teachers once told me that a good artist is able to see the things that aren't there. Evidently, this is a broad statement and can be interpreted in many ways. In my opinion, art is extremely subjective, and such thing as a good artist or a bad artist doesn't exist. I do believe however that it takes a lot of skill to come up with concepts and visualize them. Especially when considering cartoons or other forms of unique sketches where the artist is pushed to visualize things that they have never seen before in person. I often try to come up with unique concepts like these in order to push my creative boundaries to see what I can create. Here is one of the sketches I have recently created:
Paint. Oh lord do I hate to paint. Well, I love to paint for myself but I am not very good and creating 'good' paintings. My biggest struggle is to wait till all the paint has dried in order to apply a new layer. Sometimes I allow myself to use paint in whatever way I like without particularly aiming to create a 'good' art piece. I love the texture and messing around with mixing colors in order to create depth and tone. In this piece, I tried to create a field of abstract flowers. While it definitely wasn't my best work I had a lot of fun creating it.
