background
what can you do when the sizes of your body controls your surroundings, and your opportunity's are limited because of the sizes of your body. Now in day most of my generation value the body more then anything else . make-up is the way to be beautiful because without it we're nothing . At least that some of the stuff that I hear from my friends. You are in the pressure of meeting expectations and being what the media wants you to be . we starve ourselves, we follow diet and we dedicated so much time to the body and we forget to feed the brain . . Most of us forget what's import and we judge everything by it sizes .
process
while I was doing "160 pounds " I got inspires and I decided to paint a plus woman WITHOUT AN IDENTY to make it look more interesting .I wanted to show that beauty does not come from the outside. I wanted to do something different where I can receive different opinions about the work. The color that I used were base on natural skin colors because like I said before I enjoy painting my reality and the thing that are happening now in days. Iwant to represent the pain and the joy of this timeline using natural colors to make my paint come to reality. I fist stared this work with oil paint but i switch my medium to acrylic because I wanted to add more texture to the painting . Since I was using 2 mediums for this painting need the color to dry faster, because I was using a lot of dark and light color in this painting and the oil paint that I used first was not dry at all so my work ended up looking like a mess, so I had to start all over with acrylic paint.
Inspiration
I used the art movement impressionism as my inspiration because this movement put a daubs of colors side by side. at a distance the eye fused streaks of blue and yellow making them green. - it made the colors more intense. Impressionism characterized by immediate visual sensation trough color and light. the goal of this movement was to "impress'. for my piece I anted to create something simple and quick to I decide to use "Impressionism" because I knew that I was going to have the attention of the audience with the use of color.
reflection
I did two version of this work, I first try using oil paint to do this but I didn't like the way it came out. the paint took way too long to dry I was using a lot of different tones of color so the result were critical. I try fixing the background to something that looked messy and odd because the painting was already add by itself, I was very disappointed and frustrated because my work came out looking like everything that I was not expecting. I had a lot of ideas for this piece but it did not turned out the way I wanted so I recreated this piece again but this time using a different medium which it help me work faster and it was simple to do.
