Rewarding Bust Before Shower // Jonathan Martinez a.k.a. Heat718

I just finished my 4th flower still life painting (my largest yet) and here are the results! Swipe left for more details and some WIP shots. I started this series because I want to advance my skills of photo-realistic oil painting through the common practice of painting floral still lifes. Basics baby! Naturally, I wanted to avoid the more traditional route of rendering flowers in a vase on a table, with perhaps some fruit and dishes, so instead I've chose an approach that incorporates more unusual objects alongside the flowers that reflect a personal narrative, and a touch of the surreal and mysterious! Essentially, I want the viewer to see these bricolage paintings and absorb some clues about my personality, interests, and states of mind through the objects I include and how they're arranged.

Before any painting begins, I intentionally select relatable objects that are 'very me' or that I find exciting, and create a vignette together with flowers I've found locally. This is the fun, purely creative part. Once I've settled on 'a look' I really like, then I take a photo. From there, it's just a mostly architectural, comparative process of recreating the image on canvas in oil paint as accurately as possible. This challenging process feels like working through a puzzle. Along the way, I'll make further creative decisions to make the painting more beautiful or 'magical' than the photo itself. In this case, I changed the colors of the background (to black, with a tinge of brown) and one of the pillars (to neon pink!), removed the plastic armature supporting the spools of threads, and added a feather and a golden ring. Eventually, the painting will reach an ever higher level of detail and a feeling that it's 'finished' will start to emerge until I declare it complete! It is tedious, but It's also fun, and challenging and I just f**king love it!

Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you have a lovely week and I can't wait to paint and share more! 🫶❤️
