worked on the painting some more...keep working tonight too so that hopefully, i can start a new one really soon

my drawing instructor in my continuing edu class said that we need to be doing some relatively quick studies of ourselves to practice between classes. heres one i did today, it's kind of creepy but i like it :) its obvious im still pretty rusty but i feel like im getting a lot better even in the past week. ..the left side of my face looks a little chubby bunny but only bc i couldnt get my white conte crayon to take out enough of the line id placed there before when i was first laying down where things were...anyways.

working on it :)

feb 1

a new painting :) ...im going to try to be less heavy-handed and more loose with the next few..more 'painterly'..and the colors will be in a different palette,too (im thinking some more neutrals and organic colors with pops of the neon or rich ones, we'll see)






heres some contour drawings from my life drawing class :) we didn't get to do too many bc it was the first class. OK!!! keep in mind contour drawings are not about being pictures or looking exactly like the person..theyre just studies so especially the middle one..?no i am not a baby and i did not draw that with my left foot.

ok! so it has been forever since ive made a post here..but since then ive finally gotten a series together and submitted it with some other paintings to be put in my own shows!!! yay! the series is called "sugary paint" and its about how i strongly identify color with taste..a certain color brings to mind a certain taste. the only frustrating thing to me about seeing a beautiful color is that i cant "grasp and ingest it"...i can only see a color but i want to know and understand color in its entirety, to be able to squish it in my hand and taste it. sounds weird but i just mean to be able to fully experience the color. the series is made up of mint, hot red and pink, white, and deep crimson to bring to mind dessert, which i think is the most indulgent experience of taste. each painting i named a different flavor that i think the painting looks like..


also, today im starting a new 'continuing education' class in life drawing :) hooray naked people. not really. but itll be good! im really excited because i want to start doing portraits but i need to get back in the rhythm of drawing, ive drawn on and off for a while but havent consistently been doing it. so i need to brush up before i tell people i can draw a portrait of their family haha. ill probably put up pictures from the class in the next few months. ok seacrest out
