Day 02 - Painting - 6th Hr of Class

Started experimenting with different paint applications while using the bottle, instead of just drawing lines.
On the portrait painting, I expanded the usage to dots and just loose application while layering.



The Hand painting is mostly finished, I'll probably work on a background next time.

The foot painting, I added another layer to it but I was losing the layer of red I liked by the toes :/...



---

I'm going to bring in old, unfinished and dissatisfied paintings from the past few years.
The plan is to paint on top of them and use what was on canvas before as my under painting.

Marcy's going to help me pick which ones to keep and paint over to discard lol...
I'll only be keeping a photo copy of those works before I paint over them.

I've also made plans to possibly stretch some new canvases to give scale a little variety.

Originally, I had planned to paint in many different sizes and then put them together like a puzzle; I just don't know if everything will come together that way once I'm done painting them all. :: fingers crossed! :: lol

-- Besides that, I still want to experiment with some of my ideas and curiosities... hhmmm....

Let the fun begin!! muahahhaaa.... hehhee ^.^

Painting - Day 01 - 3hr class

Model and tubes... lol

Since I was sick all last week... I bought in ready made canvases from home.
One of'em being a portrait that I never finished last semester.
All three canvases were the same size and I took some raw canvas with me as well; since I have a tendency to work fast or too fast lol.

Lucky for me, none of my paints in the bottles dried during winter break. :)

I started finishing the portrait of VanNa, and started new paintings of her hand and feet.


I didn't do an under painting first this time, so I just started painting raw on the canvas. :)
It's a very liberating experience.

New Ideas...

I've been thinking since school started. My theme seem to be lines, so I thought maybe I should try it with strings? I did always love strings, and I did collect a certain amount when I found it in the school.

On the other hand, I did just establish a painting style using my bottle method... hhmmm.....

--- Besides material,
I'm debating figural, or portrait... these seems to be my strong suit....

I can't wait till Marcy gets back so we can start our painting class. I need models!!
