Chicken Picnic
This is my final piece from the Make Art That Sells Course (Part B). It was a revelation for me to just do what I do in response to a brief, and use my icons that were created on a whim earlier this year and then put it all together. It's a revelation to just be in a flow and making work.
I asked my teammates from Finch & Foxglove for feedback and adjusted accordingly. It's been really nice to be able to get into a groove and feel like you had a place to turn for a dialogue about your work.
As for process, at the end of the summer I painted these chickens in watercolor and gouache. This past week I drew most of the rest in marker, brush-pen, watercolor pencil, and gouache. The textures I've been collecting all year, and I made some more. I shared some of my textures recently on a live Periscope broadcast too!
I thoroughly enjoyed MATS B as it seems the topics suited me better. In addition, though, it looks like I've grown some confidence between MATS A in March and MATS B in October. Cheers to vast improvements and self-confidence!
Also, I'd like to invite you all to follow along with our Finch & Foxglove Advent Calendar starting December 1st. Watch the advent calendar page here!
