Hello friends. Today I want to present to you the most beautiful picture I have ever drawn in my life, no matter how beautiful it is and how inspiring it is. It tells the story of a girl who reflects the courage and beauty that a picture can convey.
When I started to make this picture, I challenged myself. I was a little girl who was afraid to take risks. This picture was created step by step with a lot of effort and tears, but in the end I was proud of what I had achieved. Let your story be a reminder. This picture was a client's order, it had a scale of 100 cm by 130 cm, so it challenged me to rediscover myself.
I rediscovered myself in a way I never thought possible, because that was a challenge and that was just a gimmick. At this scale, using the watercolor technique that I already knew quite a bit, I tried to judge the soul that carries the Venetian cathedral.
I was a little scared of what was happening, so I grabbed my brushes and prayed and started drawing. I first made a sketch because in this style of drawing it is very important to have an accurate perspective of every detail in the picture.
Watercolor is a technique that is painted with 80% water and 20% paint. This technique is personally the most difficult for me to paint because the water spreads all over the canvas and I have no control over what happens.
To make the process easier, we decided to lay the layer of the painting on the ground, because water would spill everywhere and for this it was necessary to have a cork sheet underneath.
Here I am, a slightly scared artist from the project I accepted, but still boldly moving forward with brushes in hand and a little help from God.
And to be honest, no matter how much I lay down or how much I stood up, it was still difficult for me to draw, and when it's uncomfortable, the work process becomes more difficult.
In watercolor, the process is very slow because the paint needs to be applied from light to dark and left to rest for 3-4 hours so that it doesn't mix with the new top coat, which is called the light coat.
And so, step by step, we begin to achieve the watercolor effect, and it is stunning. What do you think?
This effect requires a lot of light and a semi-transparent finish, which is the uniqueness of the technique itself. The viewer must use one's senses while observing the painting.
And do you feel it?
In this style of drawing, the main thing is to play with the nuances of the flowers, as you darken and lighten them gradually. There is no white flower, everything is poured into water and white. There is no eraser with which to correct a mistake in drawing, there is only a big towel with which to drink what you don't like.
I'm honest and admit that I usually challenge myself, but I acted so boldly in this way, growing up on my work, on the largest canvas and the most difficult technique with which I painted someone.
My journey through growing up in the world of art ends here. For me it was a victory to overcome my fear of trying new things, whether in art or in life.
Life is a continuation of us alone and it does not show or give us what we are from within, for this we are not afraid of our true essence. Whatever you are, you are beautiful, just as you are, and the moment you realize it, the so-called life begins. This is the message that the creators of this creation, that we must not be dependent on fear, challenge ourselves.
Dear viewers, I hope that the power of history and the creation that I drew for about 30 days and fell and stood and continued until it touched your heart as much as it touched your soul. May you be filled with the warmth that this painting radiates. With love from the only author named Yanissa G.
