Olivia Melvin “Severe Social-Anxiety”

18x24” Acrylic on Canvas, 2021

I painted this because I have a lot of social anxiety and i want show people what it feels like. I used paint brushes and I copied it out of my sketch. its about social anxiety and when i see people talking and laughing i get so scared. I want the audience to understand with people social anxiety aren't being rude they're just scared. Her face is symbolic because it capture the feeling of social anxiety. the hair is hard it takes several lair the background. I overcome the problem by waiting another day and I just add more yellow. The hand i would change because im not good with the hands. i like realistic art because it shows real human emotions. I love the the expression on the girls face because i think thats how people with social anxiety will feel

Olivia Melvin "Different personalities”

18x24, Acrylic on Canvas, 2021

I want to show people how people feel when they are alone and people don't know it. When I am alone i feel conformable and happy but when people are around me i feel what i am feeling in the reality. I sketched and traced it on the canvas. I painted the pink and black it did took time. I used paint and brushed to make my paintings. People who has different personalities who are alone and who are not alone. Sometimes they are not to be rude but they feel out of their comfort zone. I want the audience to know that it is a struggle to be around people sometimes i struggle to talk and make friends. I also want people who has this they are never alone. The imaginary bubble of Sonic and other character are difficult because they are small but i got through it. I used a smaller brush to paint the details. I would use a ruler or something straight to help me with the lines. The painting looks a little surreal but the idea behind is realistic. What makes it my style is i love to draw Sonic characters and show people my thoughts through art. I love show my emotions and i love the expressions from the face.
