I decided to go to the sip and paint event as a form of relaxation on Saturday because I was stressed after taking two prelims that week. I enjoyed that the event allowed for you to create whatever you desired since there were no guidelines to follow. I didn’t know what to draw and I couldn’t find any inspiration so I decided to just mix paints so I could start off with my background. After mixing and playing around with some paint I expected to get a brown neutral color. However, it ended up turning into a color that was more pinkish than brownish. Then I decided to be simple and draw random cactuses on top of it. I ended up liking my painting even though it was a quite simple painting. After the event I showed the painting to one of my friends and he said it reminded him of the pink cactus jack so that is what I decided to name my painting.
Hello, thank you for sharing your thoughts!! I enjoyed reading them very much. I hope your painting is doing well! My painting was did not come out as nicely as I hoped it to be but I decided to like it in the end. I agree that it was a nice relaxation in between prelims. I also had prelims the week before and after the event. It was really nice to sit down and just draw without thinking much about what I was doing. Thanks again for sharing and stay safe!
