About me

Meet Yzabel Villalobos

I started painting and doing art when COVID-19 first hit, and because I was stuck at home, I began exploring painting and crafts. I had a lot of practice painting and doing crafts. When I entered high school, I'm now a junior, and I instantly joined art classes. Aside from taking art classes, I'm also in FFA and JROTC. I am on the marksmanship team for JROTC, and for FFA, I'm going to be a photographer. My favorite type of painting is glass painting, with acrylic paint.

25 Things About Me 

My inspirations for this project are how different the art styles are in the band Pink Floyd. I used cut monster tabs, acrylic paint, and tissues mixed with glue and water. My processes while painting are sketching the overall drawings, painting the backgrounds, and putting together the wall and big areas. I made these choices because I thought it would make my painting look more unique. I want you to see the different techniques I used and how many different details there are. A big decision I had to make was deciding what I wanted to put in the center of the painting. I decided to change up what I wanted to do and make it more about enlisting. I couldn't figure out how I should do the wall part and what I should do to make it look more realistic. I worked through these difficulties by experimenting with different ways to do the walls. I think I should've done the big paintings before actually doing the walls. The most successful part was definitely putting together the walls and gluing down the monster tabs.

The Ghost of Us

This painting is called 'The Ghost of Us.' I mixed acrylic with water to create the shadows of the ghosts. I first sketch out what I need to, then I paint the first layer, and if needed, I sketch it out again. After that, I add the rest of the layers and work on the ghosts and the trees. One of my friends inspired this painting, actually. This painting is about how our friendship leaves a mark on the past. The past holds both good memories and bad memories for us. My goals for this painting were to show how a piece of us stays behind as we grow up. I really learned to take my time while painting this. While I was painting this, I wanted it to be already done with but I continued.

Personal Paintings

This painting is my absolute favorite. I spent almost 3 days painting this on glass. This painting is based on one of my favorite shows, One Piece. I used my favorite painting style.

I did this painting when I was experimenting with my art style and what type of paintings I should paint. I ended up sticking with glass paintings because I find them to be harder than canvas paintings. So, I continued painting on glass. This is based on The Powerpuff Girls.
