Mixed Media Cat: A Video, a few Lessons Learned and lots of Ink!
You know that feeling that you get after you've made something, and you aren't really sure if it's any good or not? You *kind of like* how it turned out, but then you take a step back and you end up hating it... and then loving it, and then back to hate. So you turn your back to it for a few seconds, and then hope that the next time your eyes fall upon it, you'll be able to look at it objectively. (which NEVER happens)
I'm not sure if I love this cat painting, or hate it. All I know at this point is that I'm so happy I recorded it! I can pinpoint the EXACT moment when I strayed from what I wanted to create. I sat down with an idea in my head, of the "look" I was hoping for, and I went in a completely different direction at around the 5 minute mark in the video. That's when I stopped liking it, but figured I'd just go with it. Let go and enjoy getting messy.
I'm still very new to creating Process Videos and uploading them on YouTube. I love the idea of documenting my projects as I explore different ideas and figure out what technique, medium or products I prefer. I love how recording my process helps me push forward and not over think my every action. So refreshing!
I won't always love what I create, but I will always love each moment spent in the process! Moving forward, exploring and having fun!
