The week before spring break, I was brainstorming with a lot of new ideas. I have been doing this project where I am writing out a bunch of different positive words (written like Times New Roman font, but i've done it free hand). These words are supposed to encompass the qualities that make a person perfect (in my opinion). After I have covered the canvas with these words (which i am writing in sharpie) i will spraypaint certain sections of it so that some words are completely visible, some are slightly visible through a light layer of spray paint, and some are completely blocked with the spray paint. i've been working on this a little every day for a while - the letter writing can get very tedious.
i've also been thinking about my final project. what my plan is to take a small square of paper and use red, yellow, and orange paint to splatter, drip, smudge, basically make an abstract design. then, i will blow this design up into a large painting (i want to do it on a small piece of paper first to practice, and that way i'll have an idea to work from when i go bigger). i would like the final peice to be on wood.
i've also been working on a pretty standard still life to keep my oil painting skills in tact while i'm doing all of this abstract stuff.
