Painting Progress

Finished the painting elective and I am happy it is over because my body hurts. Painting comes across relaxing and not hard work but it is when you are doing it as a job. I loved the two weeks and I found myself lost and challanged at times. This is all apart of the two week elective experience I geuss. I just love mark making and using acrylics. It was trial and error with painting! I found some pictures came out nice while others came out not so good. It is all part of learning how to see and using your hands. The paint mixing and the prep work before hand of making your thumbnails was more time consuming. I really enjoyed my experience with paint. I just felt the tutors were not as passionate about painting, I had loads of questions about painting but I feel I was seen as a burden. Perhaps they thought I was younger than what I am and not an eager mature student.
