reminiscing

Medium: lousy paint Duration: 1.5 hours

I was reminiscing the olden days when I could just take a brush and paint freely, uncaring about grades, teachers’ negative comments or friends’  criticisms. So i painted this! I succeeded in making this look childish yet vibrant in its colours and aesthetically appealing. But it is deliberate! I had to spend so much time trying to make this look careless in its brush work, childish in its outlines and etc. I guess it could be a good thing, since it shows that my art skills have matured over the years, but it is also depressing to know that i can no longer paint freely without caring for its aesthetic appeal and other superficialities like how it will look on this blog.
