The Animated Self Development: Taking Inspiration From Paintings

Whenever you dream there is a disconnect that separates it from reality. almost like looking at a painting. When I was drawing the indoor swimming pool that Lauren walks past in the dream I was advised to look at the swimming pool paintings of David Hockney.

I really liked these paintings as to me they look like dreams with that idea of a disconnect to reality. I wanted to apply this to my own drawing.

Plus, as I've mentioned before I have often struggled with where and how to use colour but the colours in these paintings to me work perfectly as they are very vibrant, yet do not overwhelm the image, furthermore they only add to dream-likeness of the image.
