Evolve Artist Block 1 Assignment 8: Two cubes and a vase

Overall Thoughts

[Some of this content is available for patrons only!]

Total time spent:

  • Started around 10:04am on Saturday (3/19) and finished around 2:13pm. So total = 4 hours ish. Down one hour from my usual 5+.

If I were to start this painting over right now, what would I do differently?

  • Use a smaller brush on the smaller gradients (ie bottle neck)
  • The instructor said to use “the wide side of the brush”
  • NOT DIFFERENT: It was a good idea to work on gradients right after laying down the base colors.
    • And NOT wiping the brush off so often

Day 1

  • Getting into the hang of painting on Saturdays ๐Ÿ™‚
  • Gradients still being a bugger.
  • But the gradient on the bottle side actually looks alright, at least in the photo (though not so much in real life)
  • Also getting better at figuring out how to do the videography behind the scenes.

Final Submission

This is the final painting I submitted for grading:

I submitted the assignment at around 12:51am on Sunday, and got a response at 7:19am on Monday.

My Questions & Instructor Feedback

  • I asked about gradients and they said it’s coming along, but to use a smaller brush for small spaces. No duh! *headdesk*
