Make up post!!!

Yikes. I got PRET-ty busy there for a while. I had projects due, I got sick, I was out a lot...yada, yada, yada. I'm a lame blogger, I guess.

Wait, no I'm not! I'm awesome. (that was convincing, right?)

So...where was I? Working on my abstract, right? Well...I finished it. It's ok...I think its marginally successful: (its on the right, by the way....the pears are old)



Our next project was to set up a still life at home of a chair, with fabric draping and 3 or more round or oval objects. This is how it started for me:


I used the Grisaille technique. Next I laid in some colors:


Then the back ground:


Then the details:


Overall I really like this painting. It's not 100% done, but I am happy with it. I have gained so much more confidence in diving into a painting. This took me about 5 hours total.

Now I'm working on an abstract of the chair painting--I'll show you when I'm further along.

Portfolios are due Monday! Ack!! I have to gather all my stuff and make sure it's all finished and ready for scrutiny!

I should mention---I totally blew off Script Frenzy. Too much going on...and I just didn't have a clear vision for a screenplay this time...even if it was Blood Freckles all over again!!

Oh, and as an ode to my immaturity:

May is a good month. *sigh*
