Project change post
Throughout the development of my ideas, I had several tutorials with my tutor that lead me to rethink my ideas multiple times and I decided to change my project concept. My project will include 9-15 portraits of different people with the goal to show diversity and inclusivity of the New Cromwell as well as welcome new people and create a stronger community in Cromwell.
I will take Marlene Dumas, Frida Kahlo, Y.Z. Kami and other artists as my inspiration and subjects of research. I will look into symbolism and story telling aspects of art creation and possibly include them in my final outcomes.
In the idea development, I will practice portrait painting through preparatory sketches using various media such as acrylic paint, pastels, ink and charcoal. I will also take good pictures in the photography studio of my subjects of paintings and experiment.

A good way to learn about painting is by mimicking the work of other artists and trying out different techniques and materials - this helps you to develop your style, practise and broadens you painting skills. This is how we DEVELOP our work and formulate a UNIQUE STYLE.
