On Tuesday I greatly edited my large painting and made slight edits to all of my other paintings. I completely redid the large painting pretty much. I hadn’t done much for it yet but was dissatisfied with what I did have, so I painted over it completely with shades of blue. The painting at this point was very muddled and chaotic, completely covered with unique shapes. So I kept flipping the canvas over and over again until I saw a potential painting amongst the random shapes. This is how I did most of my paintings this quarter. Especially with the toothbrush plate painting, where I loosely globbed gesso on it and came up with a painting based on a composition I saw in the random gesso shapes. The gesso shapes are still visible beneath the paint.

I finished “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” and started “No Exit.” I like them but don’t know if I will use them in my essay because the sources I’m already using fit the theme of the paper more explicitly.
I worked on 7 paintings simultaneously. I worked for 9 hours straight listening to the “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” audiobook on youtube. 1 of the paintings was just a surface I prepped and it didn’t dry in time. It was a folding plastic letter holder that looks like a small laptop, I don’t know what I will paint on it yet, forgot to take a picture of it.
I covered a lot of project stuff in my Week 7 reflection, I’ll keep them seperate from now on.
