Beautiful Oops

I’m calling this project, Beautiful oops because I made a piece of art from a blotch of paint. I chose to create this specific work because this was the ink blot Ms. Medsker gave me and I saw a caterpillar in it. When I was creating this I had a more realistic idea in mind.

For materials, I used markers and paint. I used markers to give it color and design and paint to give it texture. I used a variety of techniques and methods including: fading and line work through paint. While creating this work, I paid close attention to making sure that the caterpillar was the focus point. I wanted my artwork to show a flower that in the back and a caterpillar in the front.

I like the way the caterpillars body looks, However, I struggled with the background because I didn’t have a paint set at first. If I created another work like this I may spend more time on the stick. My work shows that I learned how to make a piece of work using a ink blot.
