This week, being my last week to work on my FMP, has been productive and busy. I have been working right up to the deadline, for pressure I realise, produces my best results for instead of lingering on thoughts and ideas , I take action without verthinking and quite often surprise myself as I work with much more flow and vigour. I found it helped to cover up sections when the painting was becoming overwhelming, working into sections. At some pints I realised I was lagging and so I forced myself to make drastic changes which ensured the painting remained fresh and therefore easier to go to and work on.
I got much more of a flow as the deadline become nearer as I gave it my all and realised I had nothing to lose by going ahead and making decisions. Once I became less precious and went for it as I did, I became much more immersed and excited about the piece.
As I had a day left to spare, I decided to make two more smaller pieces to accompany the bigger one of my favourite composition ideas from my sketchbook, altering them slightly and including some more drawing elements for I greatly enjoy drawing and like how it appears delicate, in contrast to the paint. I enjoyed working on these very much, specifically on the square shape of the board, a shape I’ve not worked on so much before.
