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.

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 12: A day of bubbles

  Blog 12: May 24 Unlike all of the other days, I had an early start to my day, but it was unintentional. Today I got to the studio at 10:00. I spent literally the whole day turning the small orbs into water-looking bubbles. It was literally so hard. Since I had to basically cover the whole bubble with a thin layer of blue paint, I needed to go back and make the colors brighter once I had turned them into bubbles. Since I had to make all of them look about the same, it took me so long. I added so much paint and I think that it really started to look like what I wanted.
