trial and error

i'm certain that it would take me about three terms to finally get the basics on how to render the human form carefully with light and shade. while the rest of the class is finishing the second class session of the same model pose, the underdog is just beginning.

well, at least i did one thing right today.

i registered for classes and got the main ones i need.

i'm on my two hour break before art history, and this may be the only time to really take a breather, close my eyes, and be in deep meditation. last night, i spent a lot of time doing recreational watercolor painting. as nice as it was, i found myself constantly wondering if i was painting or drawing something right, if an angle should have been placed elsewhere, and if i were to share it with a class, what could be improved.

what's proven to me, is that the artist life will always be with and in me. there is no randomness in art. even the word random is a technique to be applied a certain way if you really think about it. however, there is the difference between random and experimental art. either way, i guess it's about being receptive to what is open. art is so many, too many things.

break time.
