Day 11: 55 hours

 Blog 11: 8:00- 11:00

May 21

Today I didn't work as long as I have been. Since I have completed the 55 hours now I have decided that I want to also enjoy my last few days at Proctor. So rather than spending an entire day in the studio, I want to enjoy being outside on the beautiful campus. Today I worked on turning the finished and dry small orbs into orbs. Corby taught us this technique that would help make the pictures look three-dimensional and like water. So I use this technique to make them look three-dimensional and reflective. I thought that it was working very well on the few that I was able to do. I still have many more of the bubbles to do this on but I needed to wait for them to dry.

Day 4: Still waiting for the paint to dry

  Blog 4: 8:00-11:00 2:00-3:00 = 4 hours May 13 Today was another early start to the day. I started the day off by doing some research on colors to use in my painting of the grand canyon and it helped. Then once I did that, I got the paint colors that I wanted and started to mix the reddish-orange color of the rock. I already had a base color down and I was having a hard time visualizing what it would look like when it was done but I added more colors and added the red and orange paint and I saw it start to come together. I worked on painting all of the backgrounds for all of the bubbles and it took me forever to figure out the color I wanted for the background of the Holderness weekend one. The paint has been taking forever to dry so I haven’t been able to do as much work on it as I would like but I have still made a lot of progress.

blog 13: The end

  Blog 13: May 25 Today I basically spent the day writing and finishing the last part of my painting. I was writing the final response essay and it was a lot easier than I thought. I basically have been voice typing the whole thing and it has made the process so much easier. All I had to do to finish my painting is paint the edges orang and finish the ski hill bubble. The last bubble has been by far my least favorite because it has been the most rushed. When I got here this morning the paint was still wet. That made turning it into a bubble really hard.

Day 5: It finally dried

  Blog 5: 8:00-2:00 = 6 hours May 14 Today I started the day out early like all the others. I started off by painting small details on some of the bubbles. The paint was drying faster so I was able to do more. I worked on the bubble that is the meeting house with a stool and the stick that Mike brings with him to assemblies. I worked on figuring out the depth of the stool and of the stage and the curtain. Then I moved on to working on painting a solid layer of white around the green door that represents dorm life. It didn't take me very long and it started to look better but the paint was wet so I couldn't add any more details. I then began to work on the background of the mountain bubble. I really saw it start to come together as I painted more and more. I added some depth to Ocean and some details to the larger bubble. Overall I think that I had a really productive day.
