1 week after Valentine’s Day, the
Valentine rush has finally faded, well, how’s everyone? I’m pretty sure some
are still floating through the magic and sensation of the month of love. A lot
of sweet and memorable stories are still buzzing of what had happened on the 14th
day of February, but if you are going to ask me, well, I cannot promise you a
butterfly-filled-stomach kind of story but I must say I just jumped in a
colorful thought that day.
Colorful thought eh? I did what my heart have
been telling me to do, you might think I’m a little exaggerated but every
person has different kind of fears and one of mine is painting on canvass. Yup, for some it is just like a super easy
thing to do, but not for me, I've been painting for like 5 years, I have given
more time to watercolor painting than any type of painting and every time I see
artists my age painting and presenting paintings on canvasses I feel a little
out of date (?), I mean I feel I should have honed my ability to paint on a canvass
way back then but I think guidance wasn't really beside me that time so yeah.
Now, due to different kinds of inspirational signs, I finally did it! And the best part is I did not fail! I also
decided to totally push myself to my expectations on the day of love, February
14!
I don’t really know what to paint that
time but since I love sketching portraits I thought of a visage with a pot and
a stem, then I just played with its ‘’brain’’ with some significant drawings
and made it flamboyant.
After 1 hour this is
what I have come up and for me it isn't that bad, actually. But I felt quite
sad for I didn't finish it on the same day so I had no choice but to continue
it the next day, the 15th.
I started around 1:00
pm…
…after 2 hours…
Then I added a touch
of majestic-like background, ta-daaa!
The next day February
16, I thought of having an easel but instead of buying one, which probably
costs too much, I decided to improvise an easel with branches, like the one
used as snowman arms, my twin sister helped me build it but I was kind of
frustrated so I took a rest but when I came back, it’s all done!
We used a yellow yarn
(since it’s my favorite color) for the knots.
So yeah, Valentine’s Day isn't really just for lovers or for couples, that special day may also be used as a special mark for your love for art. So, to the people who doesn't have or will not have a date on the next Valentine’s Day, I hope this serves as an idea of what you can do for the day to prevent yourself on thinking of negative thoughts.
