This work taught me to trust the decisions even if you think they were bad, without those bad decisions I would not have reached the final result which I fell deeply in love with. I had always wanted to paint a fish and this is the first of my work. I started planning the creation from the work I wanted to paint, see references, choose the size of the canvas, choose the material as well as plan in my mind a map of color ideas which was going to be the color palette of the fish and the background Actually when I get to this point I always find myself a bit confused, since I know that some changes of decisions may occur along the way. I arrange the mixer and the easel to look for a pencil to start the process.
Stroke the first few lines to create the final decisions on the proportion of the design on the canvas. I decide to choose to paint with the acrylic technique so I start to ground the paint with a range of blues, so that it will be of great help when painting the fish, but you will wonder how it will be possible, because by placing the background first it helps me to see tangibly and not more imaginatively, this way I begin to see more clearly the colors that should go in the fish.
At some point in the process, I get bored and he starts playing with my fingers and the material becoming an act of giving to each other.
They remember that I had already planned the entire process, materials, colors, and textures, well, when I start to paint the eye, when I finish the planned texture, I decide to completely change my mind, and I erase everything at that moment, I enter a state of confusion, personal disappointment at completely change the plan and find myself in the middle of white walls in my imagination. I decide to abandon him and take a time of inner peace, it takes about a week until I make peace with the fish and I say well let's start again. In my mind some ideas begin to come up and I find inspiration, I grab the brush furiously and begin to paint the eye, each time I paint a color textures are added, I begin to fall in love with my fish, in that moment of reconciliation I understand that we should always Trust in the processes, that sometimes we must take time to think and return with a calm mind in order to be able to see better and reach the results that you expect to have in your projects.
