In Progress

So right now I'm working on a giant eye. I sketched this on my ipad in 2023 and I believe I've called it 'Purple and Pretty' on my portfolio page. In a way I love the chaotic scribblings that have come together to form an eye. Purple is a colour I'm fond of so when I decided to add purple accents to both highlight the eye and the colour itself. Often when I sketch eyes, they are monochrome so I wanted to add a touch of colour. Transforming a sketch largescale on a canvas can be a tricky process as you have to stretch everything out whilst also making sure it keeps the same proportions. It can be difficult to replicate it exactly, however this is still a work in progress, and a sketch is just a rough outline of what the final outcome may look like. I have always enjoyed drawing eyes and I try my best to capture all the elements within my drawings and paintings. I am excited to see how this will turn out. I plan to add texture as well as I've bought some heavy structure gel that I am excited to incorporate into this piece as soon as I figure out how to use it :P

This piece isnt based off of a sketch I have previously but one day I just had an idea that I wanted to execute. So a loose idea of what the end product will look like is the sketch in green pen. So I am more fond of lighter colours in terms of what I like to wear and buy, however I have an appreciation of darker colours. I think dark shades of certain colours are beautiful and deep. So whilst I don't like to wear these colours, I wanted to do a piece to highlight my appreciation of these darker colours. This piece is a long process though as it requires many layers of paint and the stripes need to be done separately. I want the stripes to look the same as the type of stripes you may see painted on walls in houses. That's the inspiration at least. The final colour will be a lovely crimson, as soon as I've completed the green stripes. I am looking forward to seeing this come to life. Sometimes it is odd to think about how a mere idea or image that was in my head can begin to take a physical form. Every time I step back to view a finished piece, no matter how many times I've done this, I will still feel disbelief that something that was just a thought or a daydream, is now physically before my eyes. I hope my passions feel shared through my website :-)
