It’s funny how certain subjects just keep cycling
back around to me. I was doing pretty well with organic shapes. Fruit
and nuts and the like. I was getting more accurate with color and
precise with form and shading. Then I do this…keys coins and a pen.
It’s fairly lacking in detail and has some issues with form and
draftsmanship (the pen for example is nowhere near straight). Yet for
its lack of realism I find that I enjoy its overall aesthetic.
I’ll
admit this confuses me. When I work digitally I sometimes feel like
the work is all about the tiny details and proficiency in
draftsmanship. And looking back that appears to be the direction I was
trying to head with watercolors (it may still be, I’m just not sure), Yet somehow when I look at this I easily forgive those issues and
embrace it for what it is. Even the red pencil lines around the largest
coin don’t even bother me, if anything somehow I feel they enhance the
image.
