Chloe Turner's Art Blog

Why do you think I know someone named Damien? I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned anyone by that name on this blog before…

Do you mean Sam’s blog? Right, yeah, I forgot to mention that her blog is mostly fiction. She writes short stories and stuff. And she was sweet enough to name a character after me :) 

I think you accept it for what it is. Nothing is ever going to be perfect and you can spend your entire life tweaking or working on a piece. I think the most important thing is seeing your work for what it is. I don’t know that I’m always happy with what I create, but I’m always learning and growing and that makes me happy. 

I really love working with clay. Using my hands in that way is really satisfying. I’ve been trying out watercolor more and more recently and it is...frustrating. I’m definitely not a natural. 

I haven’t! That sounds really awesome, I will definitely check it out. Thanks!

How do you know Sam?

As you can see, my creative mood has been bouncing around a lot recently. I’ve been experimenting with some new mediums. 

Oh my goodness, you’re too sweet! Thanks 💗

You’re so sweet! I don’t always love showing people works in progress but I’ll definitely consider it!

I haven’t! I honestly have NO idea what I would ever make a movie about but I guess you never know! 

Hi! Thank you! Can’t say I’m much of a podcast person. I sometimes have a hard time focusing on what people are saying in real life because of this...thing that I have, so listening to people talk in headphones is pretty much a no-go for me. But in terms of YouTube channels, my absolute favorite is Every Frame a Painting. It is such an amazing, in-depth look at art in film. 

I have actually posted an original before! You can see it here. I’ll maybe post more of my painting in the future, but I’m never happy with pictures of my sculpture or object work. I feel like it needs to be seen in person to really see it, you know?

I know this isn’t painting, but I love charcoal. It’s so much more visceral than pencil - using it to me is like a middle place between drawing and painting. So maybe give that a try!
