I am so pumped to show you guys this art project I worked on yesterday! We were finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, which means: I stopped being grumpy. I know, I know, I didn't see it coming either, but you just have to take what is dished out and love it. Ha! Back to my actual reason for posting, I really needed something to get me in the mood for change. Growing up I always prided myself with automatically accepting change. Boy, did I have myself fooled. I don't like change, but I can accept it...after a while.
Our good friend, Terrence, is an blooming musician (check out his music here). This kid has serious talent. A little while back, he sent me a sound clip to a song called 'Skylines'. We were going to work on it together, but it's been put on the back burner by both of us. No big deal. Yet, months later, I still play around with ideas relating to the song all the time. Like a bolt of musical lightening, I listened to it, and thought of an art project!
1. I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up this 12X36 canvas.
2. And then I jumped on Pinterest (you guys should see this coming by now), choosing a skyline silhouette to base my art from.
3. Slowly, I went through, using a little ruler, building my skyline.
4. After the entire canvas had a pretty decent city outline sketched, I went over it in black Sharpie. Originally, I was going to leave it just like the picture below. However, after attempting to add details, which I later felt took away from the overall picture, I chose to use a new medium to eradicate the errors.
Yup, I painted it with this awesome metallic silver paint.
After debating on how to finish the bottom, I elected to leave it as is. I feel it gives the picture more meaning, and it just looks freaking cool!
