hi welcome to an artist Vlog I feel like it's been so long since I've talked with you I don't think I've vlogged for like a few months now but I'm really happy to be back and vlogging and sharing my artist's Journey with you and if you're new here my name is Alison and I create nature inspired artwork and in this Vlog I'm going to be starting my portfolio of 30 paintings I am currently enrolled in the Mastery Program at Milan art institute and it's a one-year art program and I've officially been taking it for one year but I'm not graduated yet in fact I'm probably halfway done it's probably gonna take me two years mostly because I have a baby but the exciting thing is that I'm finally at the portfolio stage so for the next to be honest like six months probably I am going to be working on my portfolio of 30 paintings so here in a minute I'm going to show you some of my sources that I've made in procreate I can't wait to share them with you and it'll give you like a glimpse of where my art will probably be going and yesterday I worked on cleaning up my space a little bit it is better than what it was still kind of a little messy but over here I have some canvases ready to go for my portfolio and I have this one on my easel that I am experimenting with a super bright under painting so we'll see how that goes but that is the probably going to be the first painting of my portfolio and yesterday I cleaned my oil palette completely for the first time ever and it felt so nice but here I will give you a glimpse of some of my sources for my portfolio these are my sources so far that I've made I plan on making like way more than this but I'll give you a closer look and yeah this is my personal Pinterest yeah I decided to put my sources in like a Pinterest board that way I can look at them all together and it will help me kind of see what my voice in style is and see what is similar between all of them and I'm really excited about this one probably the most and this one here is actually I think going to be the very first one that I will get started with then this one I'm really excited about but I'm also nervous about because it's a portrait so yeah so here's what I kind of plan on painting so this is the first one I'm going to get started with I printed it out with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 printer and I first decided to print it out without the moth on it that way I can better see the background so I plan on painting what is behind the moth first and then I want to then paint the moth on top and have part of the background to show underneath The Moth as you can tell like I used a uh a blending mode for this later what is it lighten the light and blending mode for the background and that just kind of lets some of the backgrounds show so that the moth is transparent looking and I think this one will be this painting [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] so here is the messy first layer of this painting um while I'm waiting for it to dry I opened this box here of canvases that I just got for my portfolio so I got a 24 by 24 behind this one and then a 24 by 30 and I haven't painted on something this big since College like 12 years ago so that's kind of scary these are the papers that I picked out for collaging on my painting and when it's dry I'm going to collage these aren't it and I'm also going to begin a painting on this canvas here so I'm going to try to start two paintings today [Music] all right so for that one this is my source and I also printed off the flowers like just the flowers that will help and make it easier for me to actually see the flowers as I paint them because this owl is going to go on top of the flowers and I can't really see them if that makes sense because some of the owl is going to be transparent and I want the flowers to show underneath part of the owl I hope I can pull this off foreign [Music] for 13 months now I've been enrolled in the Mastery Program at Milan art institute I relearned the basics of drawing and oil painting learned how to use color to create richer paintings discovered over 10 new art materials I can use to up level my art and I realized my true potential and Destiny as an artist [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] for the last several months I've been discovering my own unique artist voice style and process all of which is beginning to come together and I can't wait to share my new art with you and the world [Music] thank you every time I pick up a paintbrush my innermost thoughts and desires become more and more unveiled foreign [Music] to better understand my purpose in this world and better understand myself [Music] to me art is an expression of our deepest desires and art uplifts us and inspires us it helps us Embrace who we are and proudly share that with the world I believe art has the ability to transform who we are for the better heal our deepest wounds and bring light to our true selves [Music] art allows me to explore my identity and understand myself better and I believe I can help you do that as well [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] The Moth painting you see in this Vlog is titled untethered to be Unbound from our fears and struggles to be free from what holds us back from our purpose and happiness this piece helps you feel freedom and realize your purpose [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] the other painting of the owl is titled you're my beautiful light to me light is happiness and Hope light is our refuge from Darkness Darkness can be many things in our life such as negativity guilt regret feeling like we don't matter feeling unloved comparison and I could go on My Hope Is that this piece will remind you of your light that we all have a light inside of us that shines no matter what we're going through [Music] you have another light that is a person in your life or a memory of a person who passed who is always there for you through thick and thin and if you don't have that person I hope you're reminded that they are out there somewhere waiting for you [Music] both paintings took me about 12 hours each to paint over the course of three weeks which I find incredible because I feel like before the program these paintings would have taken me twice as long and they probably would not have turned out as well as they did anyways if you made it this far let me know in the comments what painting is your favorite The Moth or the owl and let me know if you'd like to see more artists life and process videos like this one [Music] you resonate with my artwork I invite you to join my collector's email list you'll get priority access to my portfolio when it launches access to a secret Art Shop exclusive sales and behind the scenes and more the link is in the description below I'll also link to art supplies I used for these paintings thank you so much for your support in watching this video I'll see you in the next one [Music]
