Art Update

 For my highway painting, I struggled with the sky as the fade from light to dark blue was pretty bad. the first few tries, the sky came out quite patchy looking. I also originally did the white road lines in paint however it was so fricking hard so I'll just use a white pen/marker. I don't have much more to do other than patch up the sky, put in the plants on the beige areas, touch up the bridge and sculpture, and add in signs and other things. It sounds like a lot but they're pretty small things which is good

As for my forest painting, it's coming along. I don't think I'll finish it this week. This means panel 1 is gonna be done by the end of next week. Over the holidays I'm gonna do the sewing/embroidery aspect of my board and hopefully start something for panel 2. I still have no clue what to do for panel 2 which is making me feel real confident about finishing this board by the end of the year. 

Another art update because that's all I post on this blog

 My panel is getting along and I'm almost done. I'm thinking of ditching photography and focusing more on printing and Miss Keene said I could possibly combine that with laser cutting.  I've done some laser cutting but that was roughly 2 - 3 years ago so I don't actually remember how to do it. 

I've started on my bridge painting and will hopefully finish it halfway through next week if not earlier. I've decided I'm going to probably add red thread around the border of the paintings and sew them into the painting. 

Also, Miss Morgan pointed out that I hadn't actually posted a photo of the bedroom painting on my blog. So here's a photo of it.

This isn't much of an update just as I haven't completed loads of work yet but I should finish panel 1 by the end of next week-ish. 

Art Update

 So this week I'm nearing the completion of my first panel! I haven't done much as I'm just focusing on the last few pieces for this panel. 

Although it doesn't seem like these two paintings will fit in with my theme, I promise it will all make sense. I'm going to include red thread on these two paintings and I know exactly how I'm going to do it and what it'll look like. Hopefully. The first painting is of the Memorial Ave. overpass bridge thing. I was originally going to put my bedroom painting on the first panel but I think I might put it on the second instead and put the bridge painting on panel 1. Because all my paintings fit on panel 1 perfectly, I had to make this painting the same size as the bedroom one. 

My second painting for panel 1 is quite large. It's just a little too big to fit in my folder so I have to wait until I get an actual board to start pining paintings up to bring it in. If I make the painting smaller then I'll have spaces that are too small to put anything but big enough you notice them. The spaces will just look a little odd. Anyway, the painting is of a forest and this will also have red thread. Hopefully, I'll finish it before the end of next week. 

I still have, zero clue on what to put on panel two so I'll do some brainstorming on what to put there. I know I have to have two different forms of mediums on my board. I'm thinking of combining photography and printing but I'm not sure yet. I'll probably include a painting that relates to the forest and overpass one so my board flows from one panel to another. At this point, I'm not sure I'm even going to include my bedroom one which would suck however, I'm not sure yet. 

Art Update for last week

 With 3 weeks left of school, the deadline for the artboard is getting near. I've figured out what sort of how I want panel 1 to look like and can start the final painting next week. I also believe I have almost zero ideas of what panel 2 would look like so I gotta start thinking about that. 

However, all my skeleton paintings are done! Well, nearly. I just need to touch up my final one and add some dripping onto the bones but I've pretty much finished. Now, I have to decide whether I'll be adding in the red thread and stuff. Also, I don't think Miss Keene realizes that the pools of goop around the skeletons are skin??? Because she asked what color I was going to make the arm one and suggested green or red. So, I don't think she knows it's skin which is pretty funny. I was thinking if I used the red thread I could make it be the thing that connects all my paintings in a clearer way then just the theme.  

So I'm still messing around with what I'm going to add to my bedroom painting. However, while that's on the back burner, I think I know what I'm going to do for the rest of the paintings. I've decided to ditch the painting of the ark* because I just, wasn't liking it. I know what I'm going to put in its place though. 

I might do something inspired by that guy that took multiple photos of something and then pieced them together. I don't remember his name but I'm pretty sure there's a David somewhere in there. I don't even know if I wanna do photography but I don't know what other media I could use so I'll probably figure out what to do for photography.
