12.5.14: finalization

Hello to all.
This is the end of the project. It's arrived.
I'll be frank: I haven't done anything these past few weeks.
Well, no painting at least.

On a brighter note...
Last week I had the opportunity to chat with one of my mentors, Theodore!











(Insert the post about my painting and such)



















In the brief 10 minutes that we chatted, I learned that canvases come pre-primed, and that I must be more careful when it comes to trying to maintain an original section after manipulation. 
I really appreciated how he took time to explain the science behind the chipping though. I was about to ask him, "Why? How" and him being amazing, answered with a crafted response. Thanks Theodore!

This is it. I mean, I had hoped to fit in another painting. I planned on outlining something in pencil and then incorporating glitter or other media into the canvas, but with finals, and other tests and projects, there's not time for it. Throughout this semester, I have learned a lot about painting, but I feel that I didn't get to employ my knowledge to its full extent. Perhaps in the near future I can continue this short lived endeavor.
Many thanks for everyone's support in this journey.
