Beautiful Oops

Artist Statement

I always like the idea of doing a beautiful oops, but sometimes it's hard for me to create something from the ink spills. In this project the ink was the two darker spots on the painting and I made it into an eye pupil and a nostril. I wanted to do something more abstract so I made it into a one line drawing and tried not to pick up my pencil, but I cheated a little. After I had finished the face I thought it looked a little boring so I added the little sprout man growing from the top of his head. I used watercolors and a thin marker to trace it. I used pink and green because they're kind of contrasting colors and I added the squiggly lines to the background just to make it more interesting to look at. I think the little waving man on top of the guy's head is cute and I thought it was fun to make, but there isn't really another meaning to it. Overall, I thought it was fun to make, but if I gave myself more time to look at the splotches I would probably make something else.
