These are from my painting studio class. I’ve found this course a real struggle – but I think in the end, it will turn out to be a very worthwhile one.
What’s happening here? Well, I could get into a lengthy explanation about long defunct RPG characters, etc, but I think I shall spare everyone. It isn’t finished, but it got to the point where I felt finished working on it. Actually looking at the photograph is showing me exactly what needs be done, so that’s pretty cool. This isn’t a piece that I think is great but I loosened up some here in some ways, and pulled in some personal imagery.
This fella isn’t done yet, but it is getting there. I went into class today thinking I would paint over something I started for my dropped figure painting class. Unfortunately, when I got there and sized up the piece in question, I liked it too much even in it’s never-to-be-completed form to paint over it. So, I used the back of a small board I had experimented on with some iridescent acrylics (mice and cabbages, for those curious, but it wasn’t too much of a success). I picked a sketch that I particularly liked from my sketchbook with relatively similar dimensions, and off I went. Process:
[actually I love the composition of this much more, and the elephaunt's slightly more nervous expression, but I will still probably sleep easy tonight]
