Basement Film Night

My final homework assignment is complete! There is one discussion to do for this class, and then I'm all done for the summer. This isn't the end to my painting, though. One of my classes next fall involves painting for at least part of it.

I think I'll miss this class a little, because it kicked me in the ass to try a new medium, one that I wasn't very keen on trying. As I got into it, I actually started to like it. I started getting better ideas (though some flops) for subjects to paint, and I couldn't believe I got stuff to look like the stuff it's supposed to.

I do find it funny that when I look at other painters' works, the first things I notice are "other than focal point" objects. It's sometimes annoying, because I cannot get my eyes to follow the painting around to its focal point, and it takes longer for me to "get" it. But in my own stuff, most of my favorite parts are background and non-focal-point things. I like my brick wall here more than everything else.

Anyway, the new page of Golden Brown is actually already done, but you'll all have to wait til Friday. Sorry, that comes down from management, not my policy. Karissa laughed at it, though.
