Capturing the Month's Memories with Paint.
Of course, Pulp Pals, we fully advocate for diarising your memories with pen and paper. The written word is a fine way of communicating! But there is something about painting memories that is ethereal, vivid, and colourful in a unique way.
Capturing memories with paint means you can focus on evoking the memory's atmosphere through colour, light, and texture, rather than literal depiction.
Splatter, scratch, and apply colours loosely to relay the essence of August visually.
Illustrate the cold, the rain, the laundry that piled up, the wet shoes and socks, and the feelings of cancelled sports events every weekend …. Oh, and also the wonders and joys of continuous cloudburst…
Methods for Painting Memories? We got you.
Depict atmosphere over detail. Concentrate on the feeling, mood, and atmosphere of the memory using colour and light. Use the brush and paint as a divining tool for your most treasured reminisces!
Experiment with techniques like using a water sprayer, scratching into wet paint, or applying layers of transparent or opaque paint to create varied textures and effects. Go full Jackson Pollock if you want to!
Embrace loose and abstract styles by using large tools and bold, loose strokes, allowing the paint to flow freely. Let it flow!
Focus on colour and light to create a specific mood. Red for joy, blue for serenity? You decide!
Paint from photos and stories as inspiration to guide your painting. Apparently, the Polaroid is having a renaissance...
Huzzah! Here's what you need to make it happen!
