Day 2: The Bubbles

May 11

Today I started bright and early. I started the morning by stretching my canvas with Corby. It was really hard

and I have to say I’m glad that's over. I then did some more sketches and worked on color choices. Once the

canvas was done, I started by sketching out each individual design that would go in the bubbles, which took

me forever. I did a ton of sketches in my notebook to decide what experiences to paint and I finally made up

my mind. 

I was really excited to start painting so I set up my paints, chose my brushes, and started mixing the color

for the background. It took me a while to get the color perfect but I got it and started painting. I forgot how

much I love painting until I started. I made so much progress today. I painted the whole background and a

lot of the bigger details in the small bubbles. I am really happy with the work that I did today.

End of the week

May 16 This week has been wonderful. So far this year I have taken no art classes so my art outlet has been limited to a lined notebook in the middle of class. Spending this much time in the studio around other people doing similar projects has really helped my creativity flow. I have enjoyed being able to work on my project whenever I want. The freedom that we have been given with senior project has really shown me that I will make time to do things even if sometimes I don't want to. I have still gotten up every morning and gone to breakfast with my friends like usual to get an early start of my day. I start early in the mornings so that I can have time in the afternoon. I really enjoy painting more than I thought I did. Originally I was not very excited about this project as much as I wish I had been because painting is not my strongest talent. I think that I'm making a lot of progress on it and the day I started painting I did so much, I wondered if I would even need 55 hour...

End of week 2

This week has been so long. I have enjoyed painting a lot, but it has become quite frustrating at times. This week I have reached 55 hours! After counting up all of my hours and realizing I had made it to 55 I was so happy. I have been working so so hard on this painting and I can really start to see it paying off and having worked for 55 hours seems crazy. I have really started to add detail to each of the bubbles and can really start to see it coming together. I have finished a lot of the bubbles and finally being done with parts of his painting feels like a weight being lifted off my chest. I have finished the mountain orb, the ocean or the dorm life orb, the Costa Rica orb, the Slocomb Windows orb, the orientation orb, the Mike orb, and the library orb. I am having trouble with the ski hill and holding this weekend orbs. The ski hill is very hard because I need it to look like it is coming at you, and I struggle with that. There is so much white because of the trees and the snow on...

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.
