My last silhouette ink painting left more room for creativity. Unlike my previous drawings and paintings so far this year, I had no specific shape I had to follow or an object that I had to replicate exactly. For drawing my silhouettes, I used two trees. Because of these subjects I had more room to express and abstractly think and draw. Working with positive and negative space as well as light versus dark was a skill that I greatly improved upon in the painting. I tried to focus on the movement of the objects and use their "weight" to properly place them. My process and "craft" also improved in this painting. I found that taking my time and really exploring and expanding on my option for the painting helped a lot. I think that I am able to create shapes and figures that I find interesting, but my composition of them hasn't quite been where I would like. In future projects I plan on expanding in my view and perception of composition to fully enhance my paintings and drawings.
