| The semester's over! |

I should've said this a week ago, but I'm done this semester! \(^o^)/ No exams to worry about either, which is always a big plus (fine arts courses are awesome that way ^^). The picture above is one of the paintings I did this term. I diverged away from landscapes and concentrated my efforts on this sort of "abstract, but not abstract" mode of painting using certain surrealistic techniques.
It was really interesting reading up on the various techniques the surrealists employed to generate new imagery. One was taking a brush loaded with ink and blowing onto a piece of paper and discern what the "image" is. The one that I used was related to ink blotting, but instead of ink I used acrylic paint. With one blot, I extracted five or so paintings from it, heheh. :) There was probably more, but time constraints but a stopper on that. There's always the rest of spring and summer to paint them though. ;)
I'll make a post with all the paintings I did and photos of the studio sometime soon. |

Got through one tough week. Had a midterm critique of my paintings, and two presentations to tackle. I'm terrible with presenting stuff, so I'm so happy they're finally over with! Things look a lot brighter now, heheh. ^__^
I think I'm gonna start doing quick sketches everyday and putting them up here. This first one's of Takasu Ryuji from the anime Toradora! It's such a fun show! I still have to catch up with it, even though I've got up to the latest on my laptop. I'll get to it sooner or later. :)
Oh yeah! I was at Con-G as an artist last weekend. For a first-time anime convention, it was pretty nice. The best thing about it was the artist alley being in the same room as the events, so there wasn't any dull moments! I would definitely go back next year, but I don't think I'd go as an artist. |
