SJSU Mid-Program Portfolio Fall 2013

I did it.

5 minutes more, please!

Finished editing the 5 minute poses with just enough time to rush to get ready for my night hike! Ah~ blogging is like marking a big ol' check on my to-do list! Feeling accomplished gives me peace of mind :) Here they are!

5 minute poses

What I've been doing lately

Here are my figure drawings of the past 2 years. I figured (hehe) I should just get past this daunting task now and sort through them early to prep for portfolio review in the fall. I separated the poses into several different pages and I packed each page as much as I could so I can pick and choose which drawings I want with ease when the time comes. 

2 hours to sort; 1.5 hours to photograph; 2.5 hours to crop & export the photos; still editing.

 

1 minute poses.

3 full pages of 2 minute poses o___o;

Guh my eyes hurt so I will attempt the longer poses another day.

Thanks for dropping by <3

Bill Perkins Workshop

Here are some of the paintings I did for the workshop with Bill Perkins this past weekend. We did a total of 12. I was really nervous at first but honestly, I had a ton of fun and I learned so much about color and light!




I also got another VHS signed to add to the collection! *U*

Nervous

Hello blog,

It's really been quite a while. I've been meaning to get back on this thing so here I am informing you that I was selected to attend a Bill Perkins workshop this weekend and it starts tomorrow morning (/ today)! I am veeery nervous, but mostly excited! This will be my first time painting in oils so I can only hope the medium is kind to me. I think I'm the only one of the selected who hasn't passed the portfolio review yet and that's what's making me feel super intimidated. I just need to make the most of this experience (and money), have confidence in my abilities, learn as much as I can, and do my very best!

Here I go!

Crit Wall #2

This is a Zorn mastercopy that I did a few days ago. Those shapes and edges sure are difficult to nail :T but I'm glad I kept on painting even when frustrated Darlene kept telling me to give it up. Expect to see a lot more of this guy- I'll need the practice!

 I'm pretty happy with how this one came out! The little Cameron in my head kept whispering little reminders of last semester, hahaha

Ugh, not very satisfied with this one, but mileage is mileage. A little Derp came over and forced me to paint. Evidence is shown.

Crit Wall #1

Say hello to my skull! This was a 40 min study done in gouache and it was one of the better daily ones I painted.
