Fragile

This piece is about the frail nature of life. It's linked to my last painting which you can see here.

I just find it so relaxing when I paint; listening to songs really do help, and I'm able to channel my emotions through the colours I use and the painting itself. It relieves me the stress of bottling everything up only to break down in the most awkward places. 

Very much an experiment as I haven't been "messy" with watercolour in such a lon time... Shall be posting a wip very soon, so keep an eye out for that!

Just a little something I did when I was going through a hard time (I was feeling crap about not being able to have the motivation to design and that I was a bad person blah blah blah). Because I have left it for so long I kind of forgotten how it felt to be so emotional... Until now, that is. 

I'm still finding it hard to get out of this mess that I'm in since he was gone, but my current uni project has revealed to me that art is a way for me to channel my emotions. For example, I'm obsessed with drawing thin lines with messy watercolour techniques (like the one shown in the picture above), roses, and stuff like decay and birds... It's frightening, actually. But I guess that at least I'm not bottling everything up.

I hope to do another picture like this soon because it truly was an experiment that turned out to have a lot more emotion in it than it should've done.

Happy Halloween!

Okay so I was supposed to post this on Halloween, whoops.
