This week I fell behind in the workload due to out of school situational circumstances.
To combat this, I used my available time and opportunities in week five to catch up.
Having our mid-conference check in during mid-week five helped me organize work priorities, organizational/structural approaches.
For our painting copy assignment this week, I chose Luc Tuymans “Still Life” 2002.
I chose this piece due to the layered background and first noticing the purple and light blue undertones. The scale of the painting would also be a challenge as the subjects are small in comparison to the overall size. I struggled with managing the background color when painting the subjects on top. I overcame this by using a fast drying medium and learning how to control my brush and attend to deeper detail. I did not get to produce a second copy of this piece unfortunately. I turned in my essay and for the most part am close to not being behind. I was absent for Monday’s study of the skeleton.
