Hey there readers!
It feels weird making a post in English again! To catch anyone up who can't read Spanish, we had our 20Time Pitch night recently. This went SO well. I loved being able to talk to so many different people especially some that shared some art experience and were able to give me tips and advice as well as ask me questions like what my favorite media was and things like that. Some even shared stories with me about their experiences. I would love to continue sharing my art like this. It was so neat to showcase it for the first time and have so many people be interested and like what I was doing.
As you can see I finally finished my first watercolor painting in the post below. I was disappointed in how it turned out due to the fact that one of the petals was messed up. Guess I really am my own worst critic. It was definitely more difficult for me. Water color pencils are so different from normal sketching. To make the color lighter or darker, you often use a whole different color entirely instead of shading more or less. As you can see below, I did another watercolor flower painting. I am MUCH happier with how this one turned out. It has a little bit of sentimental value to me because my Great Grandma was a painter and she also loved the color purple and pansies as well. She never really got to teach me much about art but I love to look at what she created throughout the span of her life.
A new idea I have started thinking of, is the possibility of sending some of my artwork into places such as Teen Ink, newspaper competitions, magazines, etc... Up until the pitch night, I have never showed my art to anyone outside of my family and friends. Now that I have started, I am interested in the idea of showcasing it other places and reaching outside of my security of only myself and a few people seeing it. It is such a cool feeling to think hey others can see this or even at pitch night when I got to show others. So in the upcoming weeks, I may start to look into the idea of at least sending in some of my art other places.
