Progress.

Part of this blog will be about progress. I want to show my paintings as I work on them as sort of a way to show myself that I really am getting things done - even though a lot of times it seems like I'm stuck standing still without making any progress at all.

Above is a blank piece of tile board that is covered in gesso. It's pretty much what the beginning of any of my projects looks like.


Next we have sketches. Nothing really complete or amazing but they represent the birth of an idea that will be the theme of the piece. My sketches are emotionally driven. I sketch wherever I can sometimes when I'm nervous (my planner up there for example).Above are pictures of my workspace and the beginnings of the painting. I don't really like it how it is now. The colors are not what I wanted. The background is okay but as far as the figure goes... bleh.
