Beautiful Oops

Artist Statement;

For this project, the subject was "beautiful oops". We were given sheets of paper with ink splotches on them and we were asked to create a piece of art from the ink stains. Originally when I looked at my sheet of paper, I originally saw two eyes and I was thinking of a tiger but the more I looked at the sheet of paper, I began to see the center of a flower as well as a petal and I thought that having the same object as two different subjects would be interesting.

When creating this piece, I starting off by simply lightly sketching the flowers in a normal pencil. I figured that I want just something simply like mountains in the background so I sketched those in as well. Once I was done with the outlines, I took a 4b pencil and tried to add in some detail and shading in the mountains. I decided that my image being just black and white was boring so I tried to add some color with colored pencil but once I started to color the sky and the lake, I realized that I did not like the color at all but it looked off with just two parts colored so I finished coloring the whole image.

Overall, I think my piece is fairly boring and there is definitely room for improvement but I like the simplicity of it.
