What has happened since last class that is capstone related?
....
Well, I attended the portrait day of the life drawing class and got to do some portrait work. It went a lot better than I had thought it would since I haven't done portraiture in such a long time. I got to test out nu-pastels, which I haven't used before. They're pretty great, but not my favorite in comparison to sauce and conte. I bought lighter skin pigments of the nu-pastels to try out as well as a case to store my pastels, sauce, charcoal, conte, etc. Feelin' sort of legit about it.
I also began to research. I have no proof of this, but I did begin. I looked over an introductory chapter of my western art book that had some valuable basics. I particularly enjoyed a passage that explained and showed a animal study that went from realism to complete abstraction. I also saw some example artworks on the Ohio University Graduate program website that had some interesting qualities. They were completely abstract with lines eventually became forms. I want to give it a go on my own figure studies, maybe even figures in motion.
I was just given a recycled board from Prof. Nash to work on - score!
