Day 9: The Proctor Pond

Blog 9: 8:30-2:00

May 19

Today I started my day off at 8:30. Today was not as long as most of my days but I still put in hours of work. I have been adding a lot of detail to all aspects of the painting. Over the past two days now I have been working on the pond underneath the orb. I have been working on adding different colors and layering in Reds greens and blues together to get the right texture for the water. After looking at the pond, it has become one of my favorite parts. I added more color to the mountain orb and started to see the oranges pop like they would in a desert. it was a very long day of painting and I got a lot done. Corby taught us how to do something called scumbling and glazing. This technique will help me later on in my painting.

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.

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.

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.
