Peace Out!

Aaron Van Oort

             My inspiration this time, would be my good friend Aaron. He wanted me to paint something colorful. I was drawing out designs and trying different colors, but I wasn't feeling it at all. So i decided to make random lines on my watercolor paper. So I did, but it was too boring. I then thought about Aaron, I wanted to work him into the painting and realized he makes peace signs in about 99.9% of his pictures. This is what I came up with.

            I started out with the paint. I used complimentary colors, yup i brought those up yet again(red with green, blue with yellow, and purple with orange). This time I didn't mix them together. I painted in my random lines and let that dry. Once that dried i looked at it. I decided i didn't like it, that it was too boring. So I decided to draw a hand on it. I was thinking about Aaron and realized that he makes peace signs with his hands all the time. So i made a peace sign with my hand and drew it out. Then i went over it with a black marker. It wasn't until later that i realized it only had four fingers. So i tried to fix it and it looks a little better.
            So inspiration can come whenever it wants. Its your job to catch it. Get inspired!
