Although I’m not someone who sits around and paints flowers and have no technical finesse with watercolor, this was- for a really impossibly stupid assigned project- vaguely successful…
watercolor and you don’t mix but I like.
I know, right? All of my other stuff is watercolor too so it doesn’t melt. I think I’m just gonna paint little watercolor paintings of trees and stuff from now on because I can’t really think of anything more ridiculous. And thanks.
hmm I just asked you something on your ask page but then I thought of something else. have you thought of doing some shading behind the leaves/vines not so they look like they’re resting on a table but so they look like they’re floating off of it…or something. also this is the least “ocd crowded” thing I’ve seen you do besides your life sketches when you’re not angry…
I sat for a long time thinking about doing a background but it was just supposed to be a botanical observation and I needed the stupid flowers to be the primary focus and I didn’t want to risk messing it up. And I couldn’t do a wash or anything because it’s on terrible paper and I thought it might just buckle completely.
And I know. I don’t know what happened. I like my really angry sketches though. They’re so funny…
watchureyes asked: so you're doing all you cooper union pieces in watercolor!? lizz, it's COLD in ny. I don't think anything is going to melt...I can't remember if I asked you but are you required to fill an entire store bought sketchbook?
Uh, one is in ink, two are all watercolor, one is an enormous hinged cut out that I’m gonna cut all my fingers off doing (also watercolor, uhh), one is screen print on fabric, and the last one is probably gonna be the accordion book diorama thing we did in Nance’s class. And acrylic is sticky and I have to put other original pieces in there. Leave me alone. I had to take in dimension and texture with everything and acrylic just didn’t really make any sense.
And you’re supposed to send a sketchbook, which I have no idea how everyone else is doing since they have to fit in an envelope and not crush everything in there, but I had a little soft bound moleskine that I only finished about a quarter of and abandoned after getting really angry with it that I’m sending. There’s not a lot in there so I feel less incredibly pain-stricken about sending it.
