Trust the process ☀️

The painting process comes in waves of highs and lows, here's a little reminisce of last week's painting with @artscape_festival ➡️➡️➡️

Day One

Everything always goes wrong on day one and usually I consider it a write off but I managed to get my grid up and some outlines.

My technique at the moment for using a doodle grid is to try and sketch it up similarly to how the piece is going to look in the final result.

I find it saves a lot of painting over and it's good practice to train your brain for scaling up ☀️

Also day 1 Managed to get some filling in on the 1st day too! Although I felt I fumbled this a lot and stopped...

I usually make myself stop painting when I start painting badly and don't try to push through because for me it rarely gets better 🫠

I try to take note of what the painting is telling me

Sometimes stopping and taking some notes is much faster than painting and having to repaint it the next day

Day 2

I started getting in the details for the head, it felt like another slow day but it's hard to remember that when you're painting small details.

Things will take much longer, and this was the focal point of the wall. I also had to fix some things from the day before.

Day 3

came in full force and I got into the swing of the mural. I also switched from podcasts the drum and bass so I think that helped...

I always forget how quick it is to fill it texture and fur

I knew the end was in sight and I could also see it coming together.
I find that when you start filling other parts the rest of the wall just starts to make sense.

Day 4

Finished! The bottom bit was much faster to fill in with all the bokeh lighting

I then went and fixed up all the things I wanted to and added some extra drama with the water

The little details are always the best ❤️
