Week 3 in Pierson-Land

Hello art believers!!!

This week has been crazy.  I started teaching for the spring 2017 semester, which has kind of thrown off my schedule. I have gotten better at restarting my art regiment after a wrench has been thrown into the whole engine.  I'll often stumble around trying to play catch up.  This week I was able to complete 7 self portraits and 7 digital drawings.  I also got some painting done, gessoed a few wood panels and I worked on composition studies for my next painting.

My digital drawings have improved slightly. I am a limited my the fact that I'm drawing on a mediocre tablet, so my accuracy is always off. Its funny because my stylus always drawings slightly off from where the tip of my drawing tool is actually at.  I intend to research tutorials and employ them after this month. This month is me just playing with the program and getting acquainted with drawing digitally.









My self-portraits I believe have improved significantly, my proportions are better and I've increased the subtleties in my values. Now I need to improve my drawing speed so that I van get more done in 30 minutes.









These are a couple of paintings I am currently working on. The ice cream cones are so close I can taste it.  The picture that shows two wood panels is something I'm going to start up soon, I need to sand the panels lightly and then clean the surface with ammonia to get any impurities off. This will allow for better adhesion with my paint.


As always thank you for stopping by. Enjoy the work. Share to your friends.
