It’s times like these that I hate writing this blog. I know I didn’t update on Monday, and it’s not like I didn’t have “something” to put up. I just didn’t have something to put up that I was “proud” of in any sense. See, I’ve never been a very strong painter – actually, I’ve never felt really strong in any “color” medium. I always feel a bit overwhelmed and just haven’t figured out a solid system for coping. With those nupastel things I just sort of threw color at the paper and prayed something would come out of it – and the truth is that I never was really satisfied with the results. I’ve been trying the same approach with oil, but to no real luck. So, now I’m in a class where everyone else seems to have a handle on the medium, and here I am, the straggler at the rear of the pack, and, because the class is so short (10 weeks to the regular 15), I can’t seem to find my footing. Needless to say, it makes me a little depressed and self-conscious – which only exasperates all the other areas in my life that make me depressed and self-conscious. So, basically, I’ve been in a pretty bummed out mood lately.
Anyways, here’s something I did in that class a few days ago. It’s not particularly good and I’m not particularly happy with it, but whatever.
looks good to me…
maybe you should find out if your school offers anything that focuses on color theory. or just get a good book on color theory at the library or b&n.
