The World I Live In

8th October
I am doing some of Lucien Freuds work and I am not really enjoying it. All the dark colours are depessing and I found it harder to complete as I am not enjoying it. It is also harder to paint than it looks and I should have kept a colour note of some of the paint mixes I used.
I do not think I will be doing this again as an artist to inspire.

I have started working on the influence of Andrew Loomis and I really enjoy his work. I find the colours easier to use as they are more happy if that makes sense. I am going to chose some images then get my dad to take some photos of me in a modern day context.
There is an illustration of a woman relaxing reading a book so my dad took a picture of me in my Pikachu onesie using my tablet and wearing converse. All of these relate to me as I have always had a pair of converse, I am always using my phone or DS andI love to wear onesies when I am not having to go anyway.

I am working on finishing this picture. I chose to use acrylic as I want to gain more experience in this media. I have chosen a similar image from Loomis but on the photos I am wearing my pug pyjames playing a game on my DS. I choose to do this in one of my favourite media of coloured pencil.

I chose to more images and my dad took some photos of me as a modern interpretation. One was of a girl with her a dog enjoying a drrink. My dad took a photo of me with a bottle of Carlsberg and my dog. I wore modern clothing including skinny jeans which I usually wear when not in onesies. I liked this picture  and decided to do it in acrylic again.
