Process

In my drawings, I view process as the production of your piece. The process of planning what your piece will be about, the process of getting your materials, and the process of creating. I believe my process is a production, I think about it and then I act. In my drawings my process tends to be repeated each time, I never stray away from my process which is to think and then act on it in order to create a piece. That is how you know you had a good production of process. I know my work is complete when I feel the production is over. The process is unique to me because although I may not be an organised person, my art process retains a balance.

Progress

In my paintings, I have realised that I render in a smooth application when I apply myself to the canvas, I like to be precise with what I am painting. I’ve also noticed through the progress of me learning more as a painting student that I like to paint with a rhythm, a rhythm that never stops, like a never ending dance. I have also found that I have an interest in colour and different colour palettes, I believe that watching the different colours change or get brighter or darker is a type of progress in the painting. I believe that your progress can show your growth.
