“Suspended” now has some lines and some shapes.

The lesson I learned today, about oil paint, was that I either need to wait longer between layers or have more paint on my brush. There was much mixing of the background with the foreground and, thus, swearing.

Don’t worry about that carpet. It was purchased specifically to get dirty.

Suspended Project Day 1 https://archive.laurelgreen.com/2009/11/16/suspended-project-day-1/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=suspended-project-day-1 https://archive.laurelgreen.com/2009/11/16/suspended-project-day-1/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:51:11 +0000 Laurel Green https://archive.laurelgreen.com/?p=135 Suspended Background

This is the background for an oil paint practice project that I’m doing. It’s still very much wet and it’s likely to stay that way for a while, what with being oil paint and all. I’ll have to wait a day or two before it’s dry enough for the next layer.

This was my first ever time of using a palette knife. It was exciting!

Here’s the “Mystery Project” again. I’m going to have to go over the red lines once or twice more. That red is not quite as opaque as I’d like it to be.

In other news, the basement is once again cleared of people, so I can finally get back to working at night, without having to worry about waking people up. Productivity will soar!

Here is a background I have randomly painted. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to paint on top of it, but I’ll think of something.

I work a bit more on my painting and my phototakery skills (without actually reading the manual yet, derp), and I think that this photo is much better than the previous one. I just need to unlock the secrets of focusing and the world shall be mine. Bwahahahaha.

This is a small part of a painting I’m doing. I need to reread my camera’s manual, to find out how to fix the flash, so that it doesn’t reflect so much. The next picture will be better.

Drippy Flower

My mother said that this one looked too “South Western”. I’m not sure what she meant by that.

I was exploring the dynamic interplay of poikiness and snircles with this painting.
