I made when I was in HS

Hey! I wanted to share some paintings I made when I was in high school :)

Back then I was only able to afford watercolors so that was what I only used, and it’s still my favorite medium to paint with.

The first two were made at like 3am during the pandemic. Did anyone else’s sleep schedule get messed up during that time? Anyways, the portrait was just randomly put together, it doesn’t have a meaning to it. I like making my art be interpreted by the viewer sometimes bc I honestly tend to just put pretty colors on a page.

The house painting is a typical house you would see in Dominican Republic, which is where I’m from. And it’s surrounded my plants and landscape that you would usually see on the island. (Also I tried to make the clouds kinda look like the mountains that are found there. Can u tell? hehe)

The last one was the only one that was a school assignment but I love that painting. It was one of the first art pieces I was actually proud of. (I still can’t paint watercolor clouds tho lol)

... Read moreAs an artist, reflecting on your past creations can evoke a sense of nostalgia and pride. High school is often a time of experimentation, where young artists play with various mediums. Watercolors, known for their vibrant colors and fluidity, offer unique opportunities for expression. During the pandemic, many faced disrupted routines, pushing creativity to new heights at unusual hours, like painting at 3 am. This period allowed many young artists to explore their emotions through art, creating pieces filled with vibrancy and individuality. Watercolor art can sometimes lack rigid boundaries, allowing viewers to interpret the emotions and stories behind the works freely. The Dominican Republic's landscapes often inspire artists, reflecting their culture and surroundings vividly through their art. Elements such as lush greenery, traditional architecture, and serene beaches can be captured beautifully in watercolor format. Embracing the island's aesthetic can enhance the creative process, making each piece a window into one's heritage. Understanding the learning journey, such as school assignments, provides a unique perspective on how one evolves artistically. Each painting tells its own story, showcasing growth and the challenges that come with mastering techniques like portraying clouds—a common learning hurdle for many watercolorists. With the hashtags #watercolor and #artist, this journey emphasizes not just the artistry but the validation that sharing your work brings within communities. Engaging with other aspiring artists online fosters connections that inspire and motivate creativity. In summary, high school experiences with watercolors shape not just technique but identity, inviting a blend of personal history and cultural narrative.
