Breakdown

I woke up this morning absolutley panicking about getting everything done on time for this submission next week because I realised that it wasn't just one piece of work that needed doing it was 8 and I really haven't prepared myself. So I started early and went on with what I'd been doing yesterday which was using gouache to paint Nakamats diving for ideas. I did one painting and realised that A) it had taken me about 2 hours to do, and B) I wasn't even that happy with the finished thing which was so disheartning. So i started roughing the ideas for my stamps and postcards just to kick my brain into gear a bit. I actually liked a few of the outcomes that I came up with during this little brainstorm so I went into the Mac suites and started trying to create it with Ai, this is what I got:








Obviously these are no where near complete but I think they're massively more interesting and dynamic than the paintings I'd been doing, AND it means I'd be using a material that I don't always use (unlike gouache). The composition of these is making me a bit happier so I'm going to go back into the studio tomorrow and keep working on these. I'm also going to see about going into the print room and trying to do some monoprints.
