i just finished my first acrylic painting in about 6 years.
since my last painting, i have barely even touched acrylic. the stuff simply drives me insane in the way it fails to blend and how ridiculously fast it dries.
also, once you screw up once, your chances of getting it right by painting over is drastically reduced -- especially when you're working with cast shadows. the surface gets too bumpy and ridged for the thin layer of watered down paint to set right.
buuuuut... i think i'll keep working with it since i fail even more with watercolors and oil is just too messy -- i've been reduced to painting in a small corner of my room, literally trapped between my bed, chair, easel and table ever since my sister's comp decided to NOT run maplestory and she has then resorted to commandeering my computer to feed her addiction.
...which in a way is beenficial to me since I can no longer play WoW, and as a result, i can concentrate more on bolstering my painting skills, which as of now will probably never get me into Art Center.
speaking of which, not too long ago -- say wednesday, i visited the hillside campus of art center in Pasadena; and I have to say, that place is amazing.
as the name suggests, the single building that makes up the campus, (i might be wrong, i was asleep on the way there, and then on the way back, so i might have missed some of the campus) is located at the top of a high hill overlooking much of the city below. magificent view, i might add.
on top of that, the building is built over a ravine in a bridge-like fashion, so its not your ordinary three-story building. that one building houses all its undergraduate studies and all the equipment needed to support them. and...I have never seen so much camera gear in one place
oh well. i need to get my sister off my comp soon.
