This morning and yesterday afternoon I've been having some serious difficulties with what I've been working on. For STAC art I started this surrealist painting of me as a slug, running (slithering?) away in fear. For some reason, I also have an exposed brain. This is the first thing that I've worked on that hasn't been directly from observation. I was drawing my face and brain from a mirror and photo, but it really isn't working for me. The slug part doesn't look like a slug, I want the head to be bigger and the face to look more scared. So I've been playing around, but with acrylic paint it isn't exactly the same as with oil. Right now what I have looks like shit, I have decided to switch this thing to oil paint. I was reading some stuff online, and according to Google, it is perfectly okay to use oil paint over acrylic (but not the other way around, apparently).
This project, for me, is about creative exploration, and I think that I could do it much better if I were using oil, or at least the face for now.
