Untitled.
19 July 1999
in 2d we critiqued the gouache projects that are finished. she sort of left the deadline a little nebulous, so the people who got a late start or are doing very tedious pieces have a little longer to get them done.
mine looked okay finished and up on the wall. there are things i would have done differently if i had to do the whole thing over again. but, of course, the beauty is that i don't.
after dinner i dragged my stereo and all my drawing supplies down to the scary basement to start on my final drawing assignment. we have to do a series of at least 30 drawings. the subject of the series is entirely up to us. so i had pretty much decided to do abstracts, since that's what i enjoy doing and i seem to be able to do one decent drawing out of every three or so, rather than one out of five or six with figure (or other representational) drawing.
so i sat in the basement and drew until i ran out of charcoal and paper (on the same drawing, coincidentally enough). i tossed a little gouache in there about half way through, just because my mind was sorta still infected with the stuff, and it was like fingerpainting when mixed in with charcoal.
i did nineteen drawings. i don't think any of them are actually any good. but i'll look back at them in a few days and see.
