It is officially the end of November, meaning that the Celebration of Learning is right around the corner. I am halfway through painting 3 of 4, which I am to finish before the Celebration. Unfortunately, I believe it is unlikely that I will be able to fully complete this project before December 18th as planned previously, but I have talked to my teacher, and will be live painting during the Celebration if I am not finished. The thought is both exciting and nerve-racking, as I have never painted around people other than my family and classmates before, but I think it will be an interesting experience!
Back to the paintings; I definitely have a favourite as of right now. Painting ¾, which depicts the loss of a loved one in a pandemic, just holds so many small details that took forever to paint, but look absolutely amazing in my opinion. So far, my prompts are: Broken Family (¼) Political Unrest (2/4), and Loss Widespread (¾). I think for my fourth painting, I will be focusing on the effect that celebrities and trends have on social media. I think it will feature two masked celebrities acting onscreen, surrounded by advertisements, headlines, and conspiracy articles. It will likely be contained in a smaller TV screen within the canvas, with the adverts and other media overlapping and distorting the image (if I can figure out how to paint that). I’m honestly extremely excited to continue this project, even though school and my extracurriculars have been taking up more of my time than usual. It is almost exam season, after all! Overall, my progress this month has been slow, and I need to ramp it up in order to meet the semester deadlines in place. I’m sure I’ll be able to do it, even if I need to pull a few all-nighters to do so. This month, I completed painting 2 of 4, and began painting 3 of 4. I’ve also begun searching for references to complete my sketch of 4 of 4. Attached below will be photos of the finished piece, as well as my newest painting’s progress. I can’t wait to paint some more after this busy week is over, and my schedule can return to somewhat normal.
