Acoustic Notes

I want to show things other than my paintings, so for this week I decided to choose my finished piece for materials class. The assignment was broken down to two pieces: 1. a plaster form and 2. a wooden form. Everything about the plaster was spontaneous, from the process to the idea, it was made by what I felt was right and nothing was premeditated, I felt completely out of my element. I'm one of those people who needs to plan things out, this was just totally weird for me. It was also hard not to think especially when I had to use power tools to shape the plaster.

On the other hand the prepositional construct (wooden form) is the complete opposite. I made sure the ideas and meanings from the paster form translated perfectly into the wooden form. It was surprisingly easy to make, but a lot of planning and consulting was needed. If my friends and the instructors didn't help me, this would not have been possible, so thank you all!

Until next week!

Still Life Painting of a Master Copy

This was an interesting homework assignment given in comp. & painting. The assignment was to take a master painting and convert everything into still life. I decided to pick Vermeer's Mistress and Maid (top painting). The set up was a pretty big hassle but it got me really excited to start painting. Even though I wish it came out better, this is my third still life painting. I will keep on improving!

I will also try to update weekly now, until next week!

First Painting of Term 2

Here is a appropriate piece to start this blog off. This painting is my first composition & painting homework at Art Center. I painted my lovely friend Kestrel. Personally, I'm surprised at how well it came out considering the fact that I have not touched oil paint in the past 7 months... also forgot how forgiving and fun oil paint can be. Will most definitely be experimenting more on my own. Feel free to leave comments!

Now if only I can find away to get rid of the horrible oil paint fumes...
