The Staché

This is the third piece of my concentration.  At this point I had developed a method for my paintings.  I would start with the pattern by using acrylic paints.  After the acrylic pattern dried, I would move on to doing the portrait in oil paints.  My portraiture was getting a weeee bit better, but yeah, I was just in the beginnings of my journey.

20" x 16".

Yes.. as I promised.. this is part two of my senior concentration.. 

Yes, it makes me want to cry.

Yes, it's complete crap.

But hey, we all start somewhere right?

Oil and Acrylic Paints on Stretched Canvas.

I think it's a 14" x 11" canvas.

The first piece of my concentration.. wasn't in love with it back in.. September?  

I honestly can say that my hate for it has grown.

Pretty sure that this piece is 12" x 32".

Oil paint on canvas boards.

Womp.

Womp.

Ashamed of it.. but hey, it was my second or third time using oil paints.

Tomorrow I'll post piece 2/12.. it is considerably worse :')

Okay.

I know this is eons late.. but I finished my concentration... ON TIME.

That was a huge surprise for me, because I really had no hopes of it being done before the deadline.  Now the fun part is waiting... I get to see my final score on... July... 7th... I think?  

THAT'S ONE WHOLE MONTH OF ANXIETY

I will slowly upload everything, I promise.

Hopefuly my next post (:

Since I kind of had a period of disappearance, I thought that I would give everyone a little update!

So!  It's been a rough year.. but I'm still hanging in there.  Advanced Placement art class has been... advanced?  I guess you could say?  Hah.

A little about Advanced Placement Studio;

It sucks

It's stressful

One piece due every two weeks

It's stressful

You pick a topic, and then create twelve cohesive pieces about that topic

It's stressful

And it's due May... 9th?  I think?

I'm no where near done (:

Now I made these little preview shots a few weeks ago, (so I am a good bit further than this), but here's what this year looks like!
