Swanning... final push!
Art Residency Diary
Lee-Anne Peters
Day 12 – 23 August 2022
I had a productive day today, and did a good 6hrs of painting. Although progress is being made on my last two Black Swan paintings by the end of the day I was feeling a disconnect with them both.
Sometimes the creation of art goes through a messy / ugly stage in the process, and it's at this point we can either quit, or keep pushing. I know from experience that I will be happy with the end result - it's just that sometimes getting to that point requires more patience than at other times.
...
Both of these last paintings feature a pair of swans swimming - so creating movement, as well as the feeling of 'weight' in water is something I am continuing to work on through my layering.
I ended up bringing out a little 'rebel' in me to the pieces, and painted the swans red again, then I will tackle them on Thursday with fresh eyes.
I'll be back on location on Thursday from noon till 5pm
