The second struggle is similar to the reason why I don't decorate my house. Making artistic decisions that I'll be stuck with makes me freeze up. I spent half the day working on color for this, and it just isn't clicking. I know that the colors will be pink and brown, but what to do with them? I am going to use a different production technique for this: a plate for each color. That will give me more control, but it will also increase the options so much that I'm losing my ability to decide on one choice.
Maybe what I need with this piece is an unreasonable deadline that will force me to make decisions, and leave me no choice but to live with them. I need to remember: the key is to just keep producing and don't over think.
It's beautiful sis. Don't over think....just go!
ReplyDeleteAnother color combo that would look really pretty is white and pale blue. Ballet pink and black is super traditional for dancers but it's not quite as pretty.

ReplyDeleteWhat great art, Karen! I felt compelled to reply to this piece because I was at Ikea yesterday, looking for items to decorate/organize our place and it was so difficult not to feel completely overwhelmed. Keep fighting the good fight :) See you next week!
Thanks, Jessica! I feel likewise about IKEA. I'm going to try to tackle this sketch again today. Maybe something amazing with happen. Can't wait until next week, and a new adventure.
