Isabella Chen's Plant portrait, 2024
This painting reflects my love for live houseplants and the unique challenge they present as a subject. I enjoyed exploring how to simplify the many intricate leaves without focusing on each one individually, capturing instead the overall essence of the plant. The curvature and subtle plane changes across the leaves and the entire plant help convey a sense of realism without being overly detailed. This approach allowed me to highlight the plant’s natural form and structure. Painting this piece was both challenging and enjoyable, as it pushed me to balance detail with a more holistic, impressionistic view.
