he was in a pepper and he's very alive and his eyes are sticking out.
I neglected my smoke bush. a heatwave burned all of his leaves. he looks
terrible I feel so bad. I feel so bad my poor boy. oh look at that it happened
again. not for you. I think he's the same type as last time. my friend, get on the
stick. I will let you ... or fly, that's fine
Oh i'm working on this painting. just
started it. watching Prince of Egypt. I love the soundtrack to this show and
the animation is really good too, like, really really good. so I'm painting
this mountain range that's for my "Illustrated spaces" I got
cut outs because I really like the wood grain and I don't want to obliterate it
entirely. I like to keep it. um and you can actually kind of still see it I
guess. even with the watercolor ground it doesn't really absorb watercolor that
well um but as I add layers it's working fine. I'm okay with this so I'm gonna
continue. I'm working from these pictures I don't know how old I am
this might have been 1991 so this is in Oliver BC and it doesn't look anything
like that anymore so that's why I'm painting it and I can't even look up
photo references because like I said it doesn't look like this anymore.
this is from 1991 and this is from maybe 2002 to 2003 so it's just... it still
doesn't even look like this anymore either like it's all just houses now all
the trees are gone like all the trees are gone um
everything beyond this peach tree in the front - all houses. you can't even see the
mountain anymore so still yeah it's gonna be a challenge to get this chunk
of which I have no pictures so I'm gonna have to make it up. have to make it up.
already at the ugliest stage here. um I'm part of it as probably just cuz it's just always
here and that part is the fact that it's super dark in here. I don't know what's
going on outside it's smoky and our lighting in this room isn't great. I got
this one desk lamp and we got this one lamp so it's kind of crappy lighting so
I can't really... I could see the colors better on this camera screen I can
real-life this time here it's just I'll look
through the camera more often but yeah the colors are not really winning me
over here hmm I did like the top ridge in the mountain before I tried to adjust
the color a little bit. I'll have to redo that. other than that I'm really
struggling. every time I try to use watercolor and wood I struggle with it
because it's really hard to... it's hard to layer and it seems more absorbent so I'm
using more paint but at the same time it doesn't absorb enough so the colors
come out really dull and I'm sure most of that is just because the wood
isn't white? because watercolor relies a lot on the surface to be white to
show off the actual color. I'm thinking maybe I'm just being too harsh on this
but I find that um my paintings generally are not loose enough I think
that I overwork them too much and so I have to remind myself not to work this
too much just to let it be wishy-washy when it turns out like right now. like I
don't know where to to go from here. I can't seem to pull out any shapes in the
wood because of the way it sort of spreads more. on the other hand look at
this cool plate that looks cool very pretty
why can't it look like this on the wood
so yesterday was a pretty lazy morning as my mornings always are. I'm a really
slow starter. I had half of an ice capp from Tim Hortons yesterday and I was so
wired that I couldn't actually fall asleep until like 1:30, 2 o'clock in the
morning and then I woke up at 7am and I was still wired! ended up doing all these
things to start so I decided I was going to do an ACEO video today and thinking
you know what I should do, I just should do a practie ACEO of a lily pad
pond done in this ink again. the Amsterdam ink. I'm gonna find out how
hydrophobic it is after it dries cuz I want to do watercolor glaze over it and
I'm having a suspicion that I can't do that but I'm gonna find out. otherwise I
might have to watercolor ground over it. mm-hmm that's why I got the transparent
ground. just gonna do lily pads with the gray ink and then do one pink
lotus flower because um water lily rather! so I don't know, I'm just saying I
had this cool idea that I think could turn into a really big painting and I
can use this ACEO to test it and see if I'm correct. because I was watching
this video by fuzzy little peach one of her Q&A is she said that you can't
usually create what you envision in your mind because what you envision in your
mind is your ability five years from now and so the things that I'm imagining now
and I'm struggling with, like this painting, is because I'm working five
years ahead of myself. I don't know why I brought that up. but another thing that I
wanted to do is that... ever watch those YouTube videos where people show their
AP art or GSCE portfolios stuff and I always kind of jealous that our
school never did anything like that. we didn't have A-level anything. I would
have loved the art classes and one thing that the portfolios all seem to have
in common (woah why did i do this? so messy) I'm gonna have to sketch all over this stuff. anyway it
says that they pick artists that they admire and then they write about them
and copy their work and then make an art project taking techniques from those
people. so I kind of wanted to do that myself because nothing is stopping me I
don't have to go to school to do this! come on. so I picked some artists that I
thought were really cool I just kind of came upon them when I was looking for
watercolor references for trees. and I saw some some artists have this really
notable style and these pictures do not do justice because this is a laser
printer. so I got Ken leung and I got sunga park cuz I really love her stuff even
though this is not a landscape . so that's basically what I was gonna do I was
going to take some artists that I really like, write about it like I did with the
undersea animals.... this person's artwork just blew me away
bill watterson, of course. I was trying to think of artists that have really
notable um styles and of course Stephanie law she was my idol when I was
in high school. and so after I do this so I was gonna make a copy of this over
here to practice that technique and see if I can figure out what they're doing
because that's what artists do. we see something and we try to find out how
they did it
and so when I'm done this I'm going to take again more ACEOs. I'm going to do a
scenery from one of the photos I've taken recently and I'm gonna do the same
scenery five or six times however many artists I have I think it's five. five
times and each one is going to be in the style of each of these artists and I
hope that's okay because it is gonna be my sketch, my
photo reference, everything would be mineexcept for it's going to be a shout out
to these people specific styles and I'm gonna try doing that style and I'm
hoping that I will learn something from this. I'm hoping that I will learn from
this how to be loose with my colors and with my details. same with this. this one
has a combination of really really tight details but also loose everything else. I
feel like you would learn how to find your focus and omit things that aren't
really important to the picture because I like I said I overwork my stuff so
much. I was hoping with this artist I could
learn how to be more patient because he goes in and he does all these perfect
little details and and it's just blocks of color. it's just shapes. there's no
real outlining going on here except for maybe in the cliffside so I really want
to be able to do detailing like that. Bill Watterson is looseness again but he
does have some heavy ink qualities that the other ones don't have . so I'm really
excited to start this even though I don't really have time to start this I
can make time . yes, we are getting down to the end of the sketchbook. I got a few
pages here. it was so hard to find five in a row to do this because I keep
emptying my palette in this book. I need to clear some space in my laptop and I
thought about burning my youtube videos onto disks. it would be way too many
discs and I don't care enough about the video so like when I get older I'm gonna
have all these discs full of video files that I won't even care about and it
seems kind of wasteful me so I got a thing.
I got this oh boy oh boy oh boy four terabytes of
storage. completely overkill but it was a hundred bucks and I could not say no. I
could not say no. and he comes with a sweet box. who wants it? you want it
wanna box? you don't care about box do you
the internet told me you like things is it true
is it maggie? that cats like boxes? how about that? nothing
