After working on the large figure painting that's almost done - Marcy spoke with me, and we agreed it was better for me to start another painting. It seems that I work better with multie paintings at a time, and it's also better for the technique I've been using with the bottles. The painting tends to form puddles when I'm working on only one painting, without any other canvases to switch over to allow some drying time in between.
So these images shows the beginning of this new painting....
I started painting with a gift card I had on my person to blot out the shape of the figure first; This is how I usually would draw during a drawing class, which I couldn't do in my other painting classes.
Then I started to paint with my right hand because the paint had engulfed it.
But as always, for definition - I went back to my lines and using bottles to get the ease of application. I kept on feeling that the drawing part was off. This painting is bigger than the last few paintings, and I can't quite work standing over it because of the scale - and the fact that I can't stretch my self that apart ~_~" (Other words, inconsistent viewing perspective....)
Hopefully, I can finish it in time for the Thesis Show. Marcy got our chairperson to agree to let me get a model on Saturdays, so I'll be going into the school to paint some more starting this weekend ^.^
Butch came in last night (my first year painting Professor), he was very excited to see my new paintings. It made me very happy, because his energy was just through the roof lol.
Lastly, I went back to Jetro today, the restaurant depot store to buy more bottles (ketchup bottles). The one in College point, Flushing had a larger variety in bottle size from 12oz-32oz and with wide mouth opening caps ^.^ I bought the 16oz one today, and if all works out well - it will also fit an old bottle cap with a tip. :: fingers crossed :: hehe
