4/2/20- So after the group critique over zoom haha I increased the saturation and opacity of the letters and blended out the woman in the bottom left corner so she isn't as distracting. I also tried to erase the pencil marks around the letters but I think due to the water and paint mixture that went on top of it, it wouldn't come off so there is a slight outline around all of the letters. Overall I am pretty pleased with my finished piece; it was one of the larger and more complex paintings I have done and as a starting point, I am not mad at it. I think more could have been done to make the couple pop out a bit more and I could have added a bit more definition because it is all reading a bit flat and 2D. However, I like the direction where this is headed.
3/31/20- Sorry it's been a sec since I last worked on my painting. I finished the Bible quote and tried to do the glazing method but just with watered down acrylic paint which didn't go...great. It was a bit hard to control the paint because what I was doing was essentially watercoloring with acrylic paint on top of acrylic paint. I also didn't make the letters large enough so that isn't helping the legibility. 3/23/20- So I mixed a light shade for the sky and filled that in as well as do a few little touch ups here and there. I also painted the edges in the general forms/shades on the canvas. Overall I am content with what I have created however, I still have a long way to go. I still need to sketch and paint in the Bible verse which might take a sec if I plan on color matching to the image. The issue is- I forgot to bring home the glazing medium and seeing as how we are never returning to school, that's a bit of an issue. 3/20/19- I filled in most of the background and I really like the shapes of the people to the right because they give a sense of depth and form without taking away from the main focal point. I don't love the left side as much because the woman looks a bit... interesting- I might just add more to the bangs. 3/19/20- I think I need to push the values more with the faces/people because right now, they are reading a little flat, especially when compared to the flag. I am overall not mad with how everything has turned out, I just think it could be elevated a bit. I've realized that I forgot to bring home glaze/translucent medium from art for an indirect painting method and because we are on "coronacation", I don't know if I will be able to do the letters. I might switch to my home project and hope that I we will be back in school before I need to return to the glazing. 3/18/20- So far I like where I am I didn't sketch as much as I normally do, just laid out general forms and I think that worked to my advantage because I felt less worried about making everything perfect (which was good because some of the forms were NOT in the right places/proportions).
