Self-Portrait!

Fun fact!
The picture I used as reference was a very "fun" day indeed...
I just moved to Cape Town, I have Zero Dinero and I realized I have issues with my eyes.
I knew of a friend who got glasses for about R1200, so I decided it may take a curve in my wallet, but damn it, I have to fix this.
At Specsavers, I discover some interesting things...
-My eye color is only 1% of the world
-My eye stance is wider than normal (something like that)
-My pupils are not round as they should be (also something like that)

BUT my FAVOURITE fact of all was that because of all these things, the glasses I need would cost me a lovely R5500.
I did not have that.
So, I got other "helpful" glasses for R2200.
As I wanted to pay, my card declines.
And yes, paying for glasses is even scarier than ordering pizza.
I find out my limit is reached.
Shoot.
With a poor smile and jelly fingers, I try everything.
The eye doctor looks at me, laughs and says :
"I can see the panic in your eyes".
That sounds like a great slogan, Spec-savers...
We did an EFT and I awaited my glasses another week.

I paid the other half and MY GOODNESS I COULD SEE!
(Sometimes I take my glasses off because I have seen enough).
This genuinely felt like a mid-day crisis, but it was also a mid-day victory a week later.
And honestly, I want to give a shout-out to Spec-Savers Brackenfell employees.
I felt like they walked me through it and made it a lovely adventure!

This has been a difficult challenge!
Personally, while I would love to paint portraits, even drawing a person is quite difficult for me.
So, I decided to measure every little curve and detail until I feel like a crazy genius artist.
The struggle started however when I needed to swap from technical to art...
I couldn't get the colors right, it looked ridiculous and with all honesty, I lost hope.
But I started again and simply embraced it.
I feel very proud and motivated knowing I have done this piece.

Comment an art challenge you want me to take on!

It can be something you want me to paint or draw, or an art challenge you may have seen before (ex. make a painting only out of blues).

Note:
I am still busy with the self-portrait.
I have very urgently been working on a photography portfolio, so it has been patiently waiting for me to continue.
However, I have already slightly rejected it.
If you can inspire me, please help😂

So comment a challenge you want me to take on!
Don't expect the best but do expect some fun!

There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
— Robert Frank

I had so much fun with this sesion!
It has been a while since I have taken photos, but this sure expressed my love for color and fun.
The sweetness, serenity and joy definitely expressed the heart of my little model (littlest sister).
I look forward to shooting some more (images, not people).

The day of our first stall!
Also known as, Doomsday.

Did it go well?
Well that depends...
Is your glass half empty or half full?
Well, mine was filled with coffee which was almost COMPLETELY EMPTY because of the desperate wind.

For our first day, we did not know what to expect.
The bakkie was packed fully in utter chaos and we set on the mission.
My hopes and my nerves were having a high jump competition.
Eventually they got competitive and beat each other up.

We came to this lovely venue out on a farm with building from the 1700's.
There were beautiful stalls in the beautiful garden,
but a very NOT-beautiful friend came to visit.
(No not a person, that would be rude, well at least to say out loud).

Our very unwanted friend; the wind.
Not only did our Gazebo not have nails, my paintings were falling over, my bracelets flying, al whilst we had to try and unpack.
My mom made the very cool wooden stands that we had to carry quite a distance (apparently, it's not heavy) and with it we had two tables, one of which the one leg kept falling off, while the other planks kept going for leave.

Luckily, I had Prestik and tried to paste my painting onto the table.

Despite our struggles it was an adventure of a day!
The scenery was beautiful, and we met the most amazing people.

From here on we will only seek to improve!
Also, if anyone has advice on renting or getting a card machine, please dm!

Theory Thursday!!

Please comment what you associate green with!
I would love to hear.

I once heard that a green environment brings out creativity.
That is definitelyyyy the reason I have like 10 plants in my room...
it's for creativity... you know...

Here are some fun facts about the color green:

1.The word “green” comes from the Middle English word “grene”, which means “growing”

2.The green M&M was introduced in 1976 as a response to customer feedback that requested more colors.

3.Green is often used in hospitals and healthcare facilities because it is a calming color.

4.The color green is thought to stimulate creativity and promote feelings of harmony and balance.
Studies have shown that exposure to green can reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall mood.

5.Many people consider green to be their favorite color although it is the second most popular color after blue.

6.The Chicago River is dyed green every year for St. Patrick’s Day.

Art has no rules.
NONE.
No one can tell if you do it right or wrong.
You can always do better in techniques and there's always space for improvement, but no rights, no wrongs.

I used to teach my little sister art, and she beat herself up over "it doesn't look right" or "hers is better".
I had to teach her over and over not to compare and to enjoy.
I still need to do the same with my self.
After a while (I mean a WHILE) she came around and her creativity has expanded.

In art, there's no pressures of life.
Art is for enjoyment.

THURSDAY THEORY!
(except it's Friday because I forgot to post)

I LOVE colors.
I love learning about the feeling's colors convey and how they match brands.
I think it is useful for anyone in life, whether it is what you wear, paint, post, brand:
color matters.

For the first one, I chose my favorite!
In some of my painting you will even see oranges.
What is the meaning behind it?
Well, it's a veryyy long, deep, emotional story...
I just like it.

Whabam.

So here are some Orange facts:
1.The word orange was first used in English in the 14th century.
Before that, the color was referred to as “geoluhread,” which meant “yellow-red.”

2.Orange is one of the primary colors in the visible spectrum.
It falls between red and yellow in the spectrum and has a wavelength of around 620 to 590 nanometers.

3.Orange is the official color of the Netherlands and the House of Orange-Nassau.
The color has been associated with the Dutch royal family since the 16th century when William of Orange led the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule.

4.In ancient Egypt, orange was associated with the god Ra and the sun.
The color was often used in art and religious ceremonies. The walls of temples were painted orange to represent the rays of the sun.

5.In China, the orange is associated with good luck and fortune.
The word for “orange” sounds similar to the word for “wealth,” making it a symbol of prosperity. Oranges are often exchanged as gifts during important celebrations.

6.Orange is named after the fruit.

I will be posting every Thursday (from now on) a bit of theory on branding, colors, whatever it may be.

Enjoy your weekend!
