What inspires me?
I've always been inspired by nature, as i grew up with parents who loved to travel the outdoors. We have been many places and my parents love for the outdoors and nature must have been passed down to me. My Concentration Concept: This past summer I was at many national parks in the midwest and took many photos. I was really inspired by mountains this past trip and decided to study them more. I became interested on this topic because we don't have many mountains on the east coast and i was purely fascinated. I decided to use different mediums for this concentration including drawing and painting the pieces from a range of realism to abstract. Technique: I always start out with an idea. I usually try a few different ideas and once I've got it down i sketch that onto my final piece. I always start with the undertones of a painting and as the piece flows i always add more colors such as lights and darks for more contrast or highlights, as well as shapes. |
