*yawn*

got my first sort of restful sleep this week at the cost of my SAT class, but w/e. And i did a lot more work on the painting so here it is:

Quick Update

SO. MUCH. WORK.
Jesus.  I wont lie its exciting to be challenged, but im so tired. ALL THE TIME. 

School, family, and AN SAT PREP CLASS FROM HADES have been dominating my life lately. 
Ok, so this week i have here another WIP (it seems like the only thing i ever have to show is progress, lol)

AAAAANYWAY....  this is an assignment due thursday.  Another acrylic over oil.  Its taking me FOREVER.   

The assignment was a perfect opportunity for me to be able to paint a scene that was important to me.  Ive always wanted to paint this a specific way, and now that I'm in the process of doing it i'm so happy. 

AWWWWRITEEEE

oK! this year has finally gotten STARTED! The sleepless nights have begun and surprisingly, im totally cool with it :)

Well. One thing i should tell the (i dont even know, like 2 people?) who have visited my blog is that until i am able to get a good camera that takes clean stable pictures im going to be uploading some blurry stuff.  uhhh... Im currently working on 2 paintings, one in oil and one in oila and acrylic.  I think the pure oil one is really going to help me out with color.  Im learning to define skin tones by breaking them up into layers.  And since oil dries slowly its easier for me to analyze each layer of color i put in.  Palatte count: 2 so far.  

The more colorful painting has been sitting around for a while now.  Its supposed to be me as a drop of ink in water dissolving into colors, but thats going to take a while to complete.  Hopefully i'll get a chance to finish it by the end of holida break .  The last thing im uploading is some homework.  its nothing special, but i did learn how to use chalk pastel a lot better.  Ummmm...what else...uh....well its not done. i can say that for sure.  The background definitely needs some work and i need to define the darks better in the foreground.  I think i killed it but i dont know where...
