Entry #4

The internship lived past my expectations I have learned so much about painting it’s insane. I’ve learned about the lifestyle of being a studio artist and how important social media or Instagram is right now in the art word. Art is extremely popular on Instagram and it creates a great space to sell things like clothes designs, prints, or whole pieces. I have really found my passion and what I really enjoy doing. I have learned a lot about what it takes to be in artist including patients, passion, and it is more about the self-motivated individual than any class. I am in control because whatever I put into the work I get out in reward with paintings and skill. This week I worked on this painting of a skull I actually copied an original painting by my uncle. Copying other paintings is a way to study color and technique. Usually, you try to replicate famous paintings from an Artist that is world-famous. This is called a master copy. I learned a lot about cool versus warm white and black. For example, the cool grey in the background versus the warm greys of the skull.
