I wanted to have fun with my portrait so I used a flower wood plaque. I took the red roses from my shirt and scattered them across the painting. What a fun way to end the semester!

As you can see I took inspiration from Sascha Braunig as mentioned earlier in my posts. I had a lot of fun with this.

8) Portrait ✅

So one thing that a lot of people may not know about me is that I looovvveee sewing and fashion/costume design. I’ve been sewing since I was about 7. For one of my classes we were given the opportunity to create a self portrait using any medium so of course I chose to do a design! This design is a monster! 40 yards of tulle. Hundreds of flowers and pearls and crystals! I’m so happy with how it came out! Here is a mini photo shoot I did in my room! When it gets warmer and brighter out I’ll have my brother (an excellent photographer) take professional photos for me so I can put it in my design portfolio.

Hey all. I’ve been a bit distracted all week not sure why. Having a hard time focusing on tasks at hand. Here is my progress so far. I want to work on this so much more adding more details. 

Hey all. My quarantine has been a bit unique because I am still working (I work at an essential business). When I’m not working I’ve been home listening to state orders. Working at my job I’ve realized that people are hardheaded lol. Since my job is one of the few stores still open, people still come in flooding buying hordes of nonessential things. It makes me really nervous seeing so many people out doing nonessential things. Other than my job, at home, I’ve been thriving to be honest. As an introvert I love being home anyways. This time I’ve been working nonstop on assignments and personal work. I’ve even gotten into gardening. 🌱🌷 I look forward to seeing my little garden grow in the next few weeks.

First I started with the petals but then I realized that if I wanted to see how the colors would react with each other I would have to do the background first. My goals are for the petals to be white but there to be green/pinkish light bouncing off of it. I am doing the first layers with acrylic paint, and then for deatiling and blending purposes I will go over it with oil paint.

Here is the pre sketch. I will spend the next couple of days deciding on color choices.
