Before I ended up painting the wall I put together my layout trying to figure out what way I wanted my pieces to go up I ended up going for this symmetrical system with incline from biggest pieces on the left to slowly smaller pieces toward the right

I then ended up hanging my pieces using masking tape ensuring that I could always go back and change how pieces look, in case I and up not like in the final layout it's not too late for me to go back and change it

I then ended up painting the wall into a cream trying to ensure that my pieces pop and look their best although the color is an off-white cream I feel like it works really well giving my pieces the best chance to stand out

Finally now that I was happy with how my pieces were hanging up into all I ended up using nails and hammering them into place ensuring that it will last until my assessments next week

Semester 2 week 4 Sylvia's morning life painting session

I ended up mixing my dark medians and light I feel like I should have tried and made more distinct color tones between my dark mediums and lights I feel like that my light and medium are too similar in color and it brings less contrast to my painting

I also realized halfway through my painting that I misplaced the figure putting the finger too far left in the painting losing most of the cemetery that I would have preferred to gain in the painting

I also made the figure two small again I feel like I would have done much better if the figure was bigger and more centre in the painting

Although I am very happy that you can tell the difference between the blanket and the model in the painting that was one of my big worries going into painting that I would be able to tell the distinct difference between the donkey that is covered in the bed sheet and the figure laying down on top of it

Semester 2 week 2 eoins life painting in the evening

I used Indian inks again for this week I feel like I've greatly improved through Indian link over the course of the 6 weeks I really enjoy how I was able to get the Shadow and shade in the arms and face and I feel like there was huge improvements from the week before

Semester 2 week 1 Eoins evening painting session

This was the first of Owens painting sessions I did I found it a bit of a struggle especially since beforehand I already did Sylvia's morning painting session and I was very drained afterwards I feel like you

I really enjoyed this session with life painting

I feel like my youth of the color green really made my painting stand out compared to the other colors that weak

I feel like I got my dark medians and lights down to a tea adding a bit of yellow to my lighter color to make it stand out more and so you can see more of the highlights

Although I feel like I should have made more off my dark green since near the end I feel like I nearly ran out and I was a bit more cautious with my darks after that

I also really enjoyed painting the blanket underneath the model I found a challenge but an enjoyable challenge

Although I think for my next figure painting with Sylvia I will try and make the figure more bigger and more in-depth instead of just how it is already

The self-portrait I used acrylic and I painted myself sitting on the donkey looking into the mirror what I most enjoy about this painting is the colors and tones I use I feel like I've really improved since the beginning of the project

Although I did struggle with the figure trying to make it seem proportionally right it was a struggle especially with the background trying to give that pressure that my figure is in the painting studio I ended up repainting the background four times trying to get it perfect before moving on to my figure

21st of April self portrait

For this painting I use many different shades of pink's purples and browns

I am really happy with how my cigar turned out as well as my channel and shade

I really like the background I've done in both the mirror and the non mirror background although I do feel like I could have gone into more detail you still get the idea that I am painting in the studio and you can see that the mirror is a octilt angle showing the roof and that I am looking down at the site angle as well

I like how I incorporated the stool that was next to me while I was painting as well as the roof that was behind my head

First painting on the 21st of April

I ended up setting up my long mirror in the middle of the painting studios and sitting down I posed I focused in on my figure and how my clothes drift around my body

I also focused in on what colors and tones I was using for this self-portrait I use array of pastel tones such as pinks and purples with a hint of orange for the background and table. I am very happy with how the colors and tones turned out on this painting

I also focused in on the background as for the briefs figures and spaces I really like how I incorporated mirror background and the other background in and where you could see my palette I was using for the painting

I struggled with my faith and the skin tones for the painting as well as my hair for that day I feel like because of how curly and frizzy my hair is it's hard to paint most the time

April 18th painting 2

I ended up doing a second parano knife painting I am very happy with how it turned out

I use three different shades of purple dark and medium and light I am very happy with how my figure turned out in the mirror I feel like it's my best have a knife painting up to date

I am also very happy with the easel and the background surrounding the easel I really like the detail I was able to get with the easel and the background around

He was also very happy with the background in the mirror I really distinguished my dark mediums the lights in this painting and I feel like that what makes this mirror self-portrait work

First painting April 18th

I did another mirror self portrait I ended up using 3 tree shades of blue a dark medium and light I am overall happy with the surroundings of the mirror I'm really happy with how I did either and the wall and the background

Although I'm not as happy with my figure I feel like it's very cartoony and I believe that I could do better work if I gave myself more time to

The second painting I ended up using 3 shades of green dark medium and light the light green I need to add a bit of yellow to make it more tonial different from my other 2

April 17th painting 1

First day into brief of figures in spacing I did a self-portrait using the colors blue dot and mixed up at Eoins glass table I was just getting a use to the feeling of my face and trying to relearn how to paint myself

My third page of thumb Drawings i notice I draw better when I use coloring pencils, and I feel like I get better shadows and shades.

The first drawing of the ball and water tower really drew to me. I did other Tom drawings, much like it. And it really did appeal for me.

the second thumb drawing of the ball and cones, I found very interesting. I did like drawing them. I found the maroon color I used helped me understand the drawing for myself

Thumb drawings page 1

The first thumb drawing on this page of the balloons in the basket I really found interesting. I liked how the balloons fit in the basket, and I found drawing it in purple really helped me.

The second drawing I did was a broken lamp. I found that very interesting. Although I i did not like drawing.

I really struggled with the shapes although I do like the color blue. I drew it in. It's not my best though.

The third thumb drawing I did, I enjoyed i like the purple shades I used, and how I use cross hatching to change the tones and to signify the shadow and shade.

The fourth thumb drawing I did, I really enjoyed. It's my favorite so far. I like the umbrella in the background and the watering tower. And the sigh on the left-hand side I really found it interesting to draw. And it's probably one of my favorite sighs done.

The last thumb drawing I didn't like. I feel like I went too heavy with the colors, and I feel like I could have done much better work if I used a different coloring pencil for the lamp.
