I FINALLY bought my supplies!!!
I bought 6 new acrylic paints, found 10 in my mom's old painting stuff, and bought 2 brush cleaners.
I also bought 3 different sets of brushes which include: a pack of camel hair flats (1/2, 3/4, and 1"), 2 packs of brown taklon brushes which have 3 angulars, a wash, 2 shaders and a round.
Although I bought the main supplies I think I'll be using for the rest of the semester, I have yet to buy a canvas and a sketchbook. For the mean time, I won't start "painting". I've started with sketches. Yesterday in class, I drew this:
And brainstormed a list
This past week has mainly been a week of keen observation. I've started to hone in on all the detail that life has. Monday, I went to Chick-fil-a and when I took out my sandwich, I knew my mouth was watering just by looking with a newfound view at my food. Normally, I don't even pay so much as a glance to my food, but in doing so that time, I felt that I enjoyed my food more. The different textures, the different tastes. Another observation: eyes. There are soooo many different eyes. The colors, the size of the iris vs. the pupil, the shape of the eye, etc. I got told a few times whether I was okay or not... I am enjoying this new aspect to life that I'm starting to discover. It's truly helped me not only to become more detailed myself, but to see things with a different perspective.
For this coming week, I shall continue sketching things. I will practice brush strokes, and maybe Friday I'll start painting actual things! MAYBE. Emphasis on the maybe part.
