I started this week off by sitting down and talking to my mom. We talked about our relationships, the physical aspects that exist between a mother and daughter, as well as the emotional aspects of our relationship. Specifically some things we talked about were the positive things and negative things and came up with words that characterized our personal bond. Some of the words that came up were easy, loving, complicated, aggravating, fun, comforting, etc. 

        Based on these words I began to create more color studies. By coming up with specific color combinations I have been trying to create pieces that evoke a certain feeling that comes from the given word. Some of the color studies are pictured below. The first study uses warm colors that are based on the word loving. The second image uses colors that are vibrant and engaging to evoke a feeling of energy and fun. The third color study uses colors that are light and muted creating a feeling of easiness and a calming feeling. 

        Along with these color studies I have also been working on developing some drawings that I am turning into photo litho prints. From both of these methods and  mediums that I am exploring I want to start playing with the idea of mixing them. In this next week I am going to mix and layer prints with paint. I am not sure how it will turn out but I am eager to see!
