When I applied the first stroke of paint to the canvas, I was feeling iffy on how this will turn out.
Like I said before It has been around 1.5-2 years. Haven’t painted something since I’ve been in high school. Don’t have random canvases and paints laying everywhere. I wish I did, maybe one day.
For art being such an expensive subject. Materials can be costly. Which is very ironic in a way, the starving artist saying. No money, but still somehow can afford expensive art supplies over food.
Never really understood why art materials cost so much, but then again, it makes total sense in the end.
Whenever making art I try my best to apply the rule of no anxiety and just Create. I can’t have a second voice in my mind while painting. The painting just needs to be painted without second and third guessing.
Paint, breath and hope for the best outcome. Never give up, but don’t put too much work into your work. Just the perfect amount where you can go at a constant jog and feel comfortable.
Saying that, here I continue painting this and the future will give us an answer.
As of right now I’m feeling decent about where I’m at. It takes a while of filling in the colors and pieces till everything makes sense. using the style I use under certain moments my eyes get very strained with all the lines and colors.
When that happens, I have to take a moment to breath and realize everything is okay. To paint under pressure isn’t to even paint at all, but similar to forcing a job/duty that you don’t even enjoy. Destoying the purpose of true art.
Use love when creating art not tension and anxiety.
As of right now, what do you see in the image above?
Thank you everyone, have a great evening!
Stumped once again, Brandon. Will wait for you to proceed with the painting but honestly โฆ canโt wait.

Flowers died and it’s as if they reincarnated into a beautiful greater version of itself. The process was amazing.

I agree, because of expenses people give up on art, it’s sad. If I ever make it somewhere, the goal is to donate most of what I make to poor schools and places that can’t afford art supplies. Spread some love on this world. Make a change of some sort, for the better.
