Fair warning, the following post has nothing to do about make up but everything to do with my artistic journey. I thought it was really important to gain a different perspective for my brushes. I wanted to learn how to be more abstract, which really meant for me learning to let go and trusting my creative instincts a little more. I could have easily taken more courses or seminars with other professionals make up artists, but I wanted to step out of my box and gain a new perspective on something similar to what I do, basically a different approach to my craft. This lead me to oil painting.
After much consideration and the persuasiveness of my best friend Anita, I decided to post what I've painted so far. My hesitations steam from the fact that I am not the best drawer in the world; unless I am drawing stick figures, I'm a champ! lol... Seriously, at work I refuse to draw when we play our version of Pictionary, I rather guest and save myself from the embarrassment. Anywho, the paintings I am posting are basically exercises I've done in class, so please be gentle hehe.
On a side note, it's incredible how similar the approaches are and how a lot of the skills I am learning through these classes are transferable to make up application too. Everything from the tools I use to colour control or even blending are continuously used to paint up a master piece, just on different canvases.
