Description
I painted this in an emotional place where I felt like I couldn’t do anything right. Beginning this painting I felt more connected to the figure with hair strands as I felt they were the almost ‘protagonist’ within the painting, someone to feel sorry for (and I felt very sorry for myself). After a few weeks and going back to the painting I began to relate myself to the ‘antagonist’, who was sucking the life out of the other. I started to feel I was too much for everyone in my life and that came out in the bold character.
II painted both characters first with not much of a plan for colour and used very watered down acrylic paint. The background was more of a choice as I knew I wanted to outline them in red oil pastel and the green would nicely contrast that. The black oil pastel boarder helps capture the painting as a whole.
