In the past week or so I have been working on my FMP final pieces, I have already completed one and started another. This one is going to be part of another painting which will virtually be the same, its the same women but a plus size version vs a slim version. The reason for doing this painting as one of my final pieces is because I wanted to portray the differences between the two sizes and by displaying the two canvases as mirrors (in essence the plus size women would be looking at herself in the mirror desiring to be slim). This plays an uncanny element to the whole composition because she is staring at herself and also touchs on the idea of beauty and how women want to be slim because this is more desirable within society.
The painting process has been great as always, I have used oils on canvas for this one and I feel like I am improving evert time I work with oils. They blend amazingly well and great a rich glossy finish, although majority of the painting is complete I will come back to it and add finishing touches before displaying it in the exhibition.
