Day 50

Two more, and many more to come. I am definitely getting closer and closer to the colors of the reference, but it requires me to put in a lot of time and concentration, which is weird since the end result doesn't really reflect it and I am not used to that. 

It has been valuable practice so far and good for my confidence in color. BUT... There is this fear inside me that I won't retain any information since I am just judging by eye and not by theory. This does mean that I am training my eye for color, but turning it into repeatable theory is how I am used to learning. I manage to find minor conclusions here and there about color, but is that really enough? Is it supposed to be like this? It's all so vague.

I don't know how am I supposed to feel about all this yet, but gonna stick with it since I don't feel like I am wasting my art time and am trusting in the advice of better artists that often recommend painting still lifes. I think I also simply enjoy painting them and a curiosity has grown inside of me. I am starting to wonder how my paintings will look after doing a bunch of these. 

I also put 0 pressure on myself while doing these and it's relieving after working on illustrations so intensely before this. It's kinda like an art break to me, despite doing art, as weird as it sounds.

Oh, it's day 50 already. Dang, time flies!
