Randomness

Trying as much as I can be to be stress free and enjoy life.

I have so many ideas but not enough time to execute them all. :<

Well I'll be back next month!
Take Care.

Yesterday when I went to go painting at the portrait group. I brought my french easel and the wing nut was missing! From one of the legs! Without the wing nut one of the supporting legs would not hold up the easel. I almost thought I wouldn't be able to paint and would have to go home. Where I live at it takes a bit of time and navigating traffic to get to the drawing group.


Fixing things hardware wise is a weakness of mine. I joke I can't even fix the tape dispenser at my work. Usually I wait until someone fixes it for me. I'm useful for electronics but not hardware. For once I came up with a viable solution! Prop my french easel unassembled and use the provided art horses in the owner's art studio. Only thing I had to borrow was paper towels to place so I wouldn't get my oil paints and medium all over the art horse.

It was quite comfortable and I will do this more often. A few of the members of the group kept eyeing me to see if it would actually work and if I was comfortable. I am used to standing when painting but it is nice to change it up here and there. Only other thing that it would help was if I brought a taboret or something so I wouldn't have the paint and materials right under my nose. It so happened I brought paint from my storage box and didn't use my wooden palette and make such a mess like I usually do.





When I got home I found my missing wing nut. It's baffling how it fell off in the first place. Least it saved me a trip to the hardware store. Somehow like the art store I end up buying a lot of stuff that I can actually use. Taking in consideration I'm helpless in fixing any type of hardware.

By the way this will be the start of my #1/100 100 heads. Draw a portrait every day for a hundred days challenge on instagram. I'll probably post my progress every 10 days or so. There is more work needed to be done to finish this painting but it's more close to being done than unfinished.   

One of the awesome and amazing aspects of the creative process is practically every painting has an ugly phase. There is the struggle and the abysmal but it becomes something beautiful and recognizable? Something I see in my head becomes real after I am able to bring it to life with my hands and the medium I'm using. That feeling is hard to explain.























Previous drawing group paintings done in this last month. It takes time but I feel and see improvement!

Maybe I unadvertaly got my wish to draw people of different age groups!

Today's advice.

This totally made my day.
Discovering this.
:]


This surrealist piece to me symbolizes how some people don't realize how toxic they are. And overcoming certain pitfalls, life hurdles and such. It can have a different meaning/interpretation to another. To each his/her own.

I hope it made someone else's day as well.

Ended up buying a handful of stickers which I'll show off some other time.
=D












Sketched this the other day in my mini moleskine and non-photo blue mechanical pencil lead. Drawing is barely larger than my index finger. It's difficult to decide what direction I want to go with... I've flipped my sketchbook over numerous times. Tough when the anatomy is on point so any direction will do!
