I am currently on the way to Italy, so I’m making this update now because I won’t be home until July 6th. I have planned out one of my pieces completley with a sketch in my sketchbook, all I need to do is get the materials. The other piece is still in the works. I have an idea for a material but not much else. My first idea is to use the linoleum print making process that I used for one of my Heart pieces. I want to upscale my piece and instead of using primary colors I want to use different skin tones. I will probably use the same fabric, but I need to order new linoleum blocks and the right ink. I’m not sure how I’ll get the ink in all the colors I want but we will see. My other idea is to use my dads sewing machine saw and cut out a big piece of wood that looks like the silhouette of a head. I’m not sure what else to do with it though, I might keep it simple. I’ll add the picture of my sketches as soon as I get home.

My oil painting progress (beginning of class may 24th, end of class may 24th, and june 3rd) didn't end up getting that far. My base color ended up being too dark because I originally was going to paint the Pellegrino bottle which is green, but I couldn't find another object to go with it so I ended up sharing a still life with Ada. The sketching wasn't too bad and I got it done quickly because the lemons were easy to draw, but the brunaille was difficult because, with the lighting and my base color, it did not show up on my canvas. I had to go straight to white and then grisaille on top of that. In between days we had to move out still life so the lemons moved slightly each time which messed up my piece a little bit. I never ended up getting to color which I'm slightly disappointed about because I wanted to see the effects of having an underpainting and how it helps with the values when it comes to adding the color. However, I really don't enjoy oil painting and I'm glad I didn't have to keep going. I liked it in the beginning but I felt like my painting was just going down hill
