A Moment of Silence

A Moment of Silence

 Oh ma, I do not remeber when but I do remeber what I was doing when I had the idea for this. I simply was just sketching Setho's for practice whiile a friend and I were watching a show. I started to really like how the face was coming out that I went crazy with the hair, and then I liked how the hair was coming out and I added flowers and the after coming up for air I saw I made a pretty good sketch that I was proud off. I wanted to watercolor it.

  At this point I have only done small watercolor pieces, and not even that many as I was still new to this. The picture I had created was very very long, compared to what I had done before at least so it was very intimidating. I put it away for a while because I did not think myself ready. Then I just said screw it and began to practice the colors I would at least like to see. I practied the flowers and how I would make them look. I hated all of it, but I guess I just dove in anyways and started painting. The hair to me was the most mesmerizing part to paint and even now I do not remeber how I did it. Oh man I also remeber the many layers his face went through because at first it was too dark, too purple, too blue, then I began to layer on yellow and the color came back to his face. I still get scared to do watercolor and as of right now I have not touched my watercolor paints at all. I need to change that. 09/16/2025

  I had a clear vision in my head of like yellow and purple surrounding him as he lay in lush grass and as I started to refine it I was like "well let's add some scaramouche" because I am a helpless shipper ok? The mushrooms are Scara's ascention material, the yellows are just some daffodils that were inspired by a real life bouquet I had. This was also when I started buying flowers for myself just to brighten up my space. So perhaps it was spring? Same with the red lily. Anyways. At first it was just him and flowers and I realized the top of the painting was a little empty so I added Scara's foot and that really made the whole painting for me, because you could see a story within it.


  I can see the many mistakes I made in it, but still, it is framed in my room and remains one of the proudest things I have made to date
