Summer work

Over the summer I have been working full time as we all do for a bit of money. After a month of working my sister asked me if I could paint her a canvas for moving into her new house. A house warming gift. 

I thought it would be a great way of continuing design and creativity over the summer in the few months that we are off from university, and also to be able to give my sister a more personal gift instead of something like a saucepan out of a catalogue.

So she gave me an abstract design in the colour scheme for her living room. I decided to use that design but when drawing it onto the canvas I made a few changes. I have taken a few photos of the canvas to show below:













When I finished my sisters canvas I forgot how good it felt when I used to paint as a hobby. I thoroughly enjoyed  painting it for my sister and it gave me a boost. 

Then my auntie approached me as she had seen the canvas I had done and she wanted me to do a canvas for my  cousin's birthday. I agreed and also remembered that my cousin enjoyed the posters I was looking at when I done the Russian Constructivist design in year 1. Below shows the canvas I finished for my cousin.












I was pleased with both canvases and hope to do more. There is a lot of space on my walls in my room so they could be filled up pretty soon!
