Another day, moar arts

Another day, and there's more arts about. Sooo...yeah.

Media Class, I have several projects going on. One is a scratchboard. It's coming along, it's almost done.


(But it'll look better when it's done....)

Then we've got these watercolors going on. Right now we're just doing test work. So I've got a cube, and a little test portrait done.



(Yes...the force will be with me. Always. LOL.)

You know what's really fun about watercolors? I own sooo many of them. My media teacher was slightly griping last class about how the paints the students bring in range from like, Winsor & Newton pro stuff (*drools*) to like, Crayola pan shit. So what did I do? Before I started my test pieces I made test swatches of EVERY SINGLE watercolor I own.

It was fun seeing the color variations by company...for example...compare the Cobalt blues from each set. the Winsor Newton stuff probably is the nicest looking, the Reeves stuff ain't bad, and the Sakura ain't too bad but might be a smidge too close to the other blue it has in its set....HUGE differences from company to company. I can see what my teacher was saying. I'll probably do my stuff in the Reeves paint because there's more colors to choose from, but, I do admit....the W&N stuff....*drools...*....it's great stuff on pans, and I imagine the tubes are like, kick ass.

And then, more figures. I can start to see a little improvement....so this is a good sign. I tried out using charcoal pencils on the last one and my professor liked the improvements, and I liked it as well. I'll try working with that for awhile and see where it gets me. I also need to JOIN FREAKING FEWS already....I finally got my financial aid check from Ringling so I can afford to go now, now I just need to find out where it is and stuff. *shrugs*





Illustration and Painting are going okay, but er.....my last ILL project literally got ripped to pieces come crit time (digital printout though, LUCKILY. =/ ) so I don't know if I feel like posting it quite yet, and painting, I keep on forgetting to bring my camera to class so I can take pictures because I can't lug wet paintings home and all. Maybe next time.

Later.

Bang.
