Second half of the Can This Medium post. Most of these pictures couldn’t fit in my scanner so excuse the photo quality! I’ll try to get an improved version as soon as I can.
Oil Paints (Water Soluble)
I was really scared to try oil paints at first because I thought they were a high-maintenance sort of thing, so I did a very simple, tentative piece. After using it, I have to say I really love the wet-on-wet technique and blendability of oils. I’ll probably revisit this one and add a bit more to the open space.
“Beast”
Charcoal
Done on mylar, I copped out and used charcoal pencils for this one. I still have difficulty working with looser charcoal sticks, so this was mainly just a play on tone.
“Twisted Fairytale”
Acylic Paints
This was my favorite piece in the entire course. It’s a square man, who wouldn’t like that? Been trying out geometric abstraction (you’ll see more in a bit).
“Man and Machine”
Mix Media
Last project was a free-for-all-do-want-you-wanna type of assignment, otherwise known as mix media. Mine’s got pencil work, some paints and a big leafy collage paper.
“Urban Legends”
And that’s it for this course! Next media studio 2 is all digital I hear. Fun stuff! I’ll need to get myself a functioning tablet by then …
