There are many ideas I scraped along the way ( especially compositions) so I tried to only put in what is part of my process into this post.

I managed to hit the number of paintings I wanted to do, partly because I made a bet with a friend but regardless,,

The only topic I did not do was Interior Space

 

Alley (landscape/cityscape)

This is the first I attempted so I was extremely rusty and I have never painted on such a big piece so I was pretty much unsure.

I repainted the same idea but slightly differently to suit what I wanted

I also realised that I have a bad habit of painting too much or messing with what I already did

Final:

Atmospheric/ weather condition

I used a composition from the composition class and painted a bigger version

I consulted some of Prof Ng Woon Lam’s books and paintings, thus I ended up with this

House/ Tinted colours(??

I approached this after consulting Frank Webb’s book and paintings, I was captivated by his use of transiting negative and positive space* (i cant think of any better words)

So I painted this and tried the same composition with a different colour palette

Final:

 

Process:

  

Reference:

 

I found the red house very appealing to look at

 

Boats

I looked at some of Sargent’s boats to come up with these

Final

 

Process:

I always paint a small colour key before I do the big one…

Tent

Again I consulted Sargent’s paintings of tents before I could paint these

I just wanted to try out more colours in this one so I paid less attention to my compositions

Final

 

Process:

I wanted to paint a house at first but I figured I wanted to try a tent instead so,,

Ideas I Scraped:

Not including all the compositions I scraped… becuz it is a hassle and Im lazy

  

  

Reflection:

Well, Prof Ng suggested that we might not be able to finish using the tube of paint..

So, I took that as a challenge and went on a painting spree (??)  Anyway yea I managed to use up my ultramarine…and my masking tape too ( maybe I like to go against my profs LOL )

     Yes Im trying to spite my prof mwahaha 

 this just goes to show how much of a cheeky kid I am…

anyways, I managed the 8 paintings!!

( yes i fulfilled the bet, if u wanna know,, the bet was about losing my fave art book so heck no )

I got out of my rusty painting stage. I want to paint way more after the semester ends!! I’d rather paint than draw.

And finally a comparison:

One of the rusty paintings I did at the start of this sem:
