This week focus from Inspire Me Thursday is Faces. This is what I did:
This has been a real challenge! I don’t usually do figurative, but rather express myself through symbols, highly stylised images or abstract art. To make things easier, I chose a medium I’m not familiar at all – watercolours! But then again, if you never push yourself you never learn anything…and so I bought a few tubes of watercolour paint, some heavy paper and just experimented. Then I didn’t want to post what I’d done because I thought it wasn’t good enough…but I changed my mind. I’m still not pleased with the result, however I think of Inspire Me Thursday as a “tool” to help my creativity and from this point of view I’m happy, because I allowed myself to create something regardless of the outcome.
I’m so glad you allowed yourself to present your piece. It’s quite striking! nothing like coming out of your comfort zone to nurture your creativity!
Wow – doing something out of your comfort zone really worked. Its a fantastic and unusual image.
I’m glad you shared. I think she’s beautiful and I like the colors you used.
