Anyone want to post progress pics?
"Can't really paint" my ass. That looks amazing!As an Art Express nominee and selection, the best advice I can give you from my perspective is to relax like you don't care about bow and proceed with your art as if you were Picasso. Make sure you finish early lol so you can be even more relaxed.
I'd elaborate but I ceebs atm. I'll elaborate on demand.
EDIT: My idea was simply to pay tribute to noteable artists who went against the traditional notions of art (I.e. artists who produced abstract/random sht and called it art).
That's it... I just thought they were cool lol so I painted an abstract portrait of Picasso, Andy Warhol and Basquiat. Then I did an abstract painting of their studios which they created their art. (The only reason everything was abstract was because I cant really paint lol but anyone can do random abstract. I just splashed paint everywhere and hoped for the best and change the paint colour here and there)
And tadaa! http://m.imgur.com/x4zwAbQ
The point is to remember to have a lot of fun with your 2k15 bows lol
Go with your gut feeling. As sappy as that sounds, you won't regret it. My practice was spontaneous and impulsive - I didn't plan as I went along. This wasn't a conscious decision, I underestimated how much time the final arrangement would require. Eventually, that spontaneity became part of my concept. Is there any way that you could combine any technical elements? If not, you have some (not entirely sufficient; insufficient for complacency) time to experiment with either concept briefly, while garnering some of your peers' and teachers' opinions.Update:
Me= artist's block
I feel horrible.
Hate VArt right now.
Garrrrrrgh
I'm caught between a rock and two concepts.
Thanks so much for your advice!"Can't really paint" my ass. That looks amazing!
For those of you who are experiencing a creative drought, don't pressure yourself to keep going against your gut feeling. Take a break, step back, and evaluate. Get some opinions. Most imperative, however, is to be confident in your abilities. Do as much as you can without envisioning the final presentation, so to speak. Later down the line, you'll be glad that you have many pieces to choose from when organising the work for marking.

Wow, you're already into details. I'm still doing my background hahaWhoo! Thanks!
Had a look at the results of the wash I did yesterday this morning and I'm pretty pleased. Although, in the end product not much of the background will be apparent
Hopefully I'll have some detail done by today. So many layers to go though....
Nah, I'm just going on and on with layers. But I love the feel of paint so I don't mind just stroking it on over and over and over again.Wow, you're already into details. I'm still doing my background haha - Milkytea99
