I think that's all you need to know.


PHOTOBLOG! (all things painting) (I just installed my fancy schmancy student version of AdobeCS...so pre-apologies if these things are sized all funny) (okay, they're normal sized now)

* I painted my 1974 Vespa Primavera this spring through a class at CCSF. It used to be matte military green with black accents (you can kinda see it in the background of one of my tire-changing photos) and now it's pearly apple green with white accents. And yes, it is indoors (don't mind the crap on the floor). And yes, this is tragic, but I do not have an alternative right now.

* Ever since school let out and I actually have time to pursue hobbies, I've been going to figure painting sessions at this dude-I-sometimes-work-for's studio. It's nice to be on the other side of the stand for once. I did a lot of figure drawing in college, but the few experiences I had with figure /painting/ were extremely frustrating. But this has been fun; because I went into it with such low expectations, I think I've ended up having a fair amount of beginners luck. I'm working on wood cause it's free and painting with acrylics cause they dry fast enough that I can put the painting on the back of my scooter after I'm done. I'm learning a lot about seeing, about how deceptive our vision can be.

So this was the first one. I got there and discovered my tub of white that I bought god knows how many years ago had solidified...and I was too embarrassed to ask anyone if I could use some of their white until my friend A who's also a model and also paints there said "Dude, just as T (the guy whose studio it is)--he buys it by the gallon," so I did and he let me have some but by then I was kind of enjoying the not having white so I just used it on his eyes and to cover something up:



This was the second one. I think I went a little overboard on my newfound white. It's a little too pastel-y. And it was annoying because her chin really is like that but in real life you don't notice it like you do here. Meh. It's my least favorite:



And then this week I went for the whole figure because she was in such a pretty pose. Part of the fuzziness here is my not knowing how to work my camera, but the painting really is sort of out of focus like that:





And that, my friends, is life.
