Well, I got my new red scarf Monday in painting class. Who knew Don the instructor was such a wiz at knitting? During class he had his huge thing of red yarn and was knitting away at another red scarf.I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I'm wondering if I could trade my scarf in for a different style. I think I'd like it to be half as wide and 1/3 longer. I like that skinny scarf look.
I'd intended to focus on the faces in my painting, but only managed a meager attempt on mine and that was at the end of class.
I'm feeling frustrated as I think my desire to keep painting versus being patient and waiting for the paint to dry between classes to continue is potentially going to ruin my painting. I was going to incorporate a flower in the painting but compositionally it just didn't work. I tried it 3 times before I gave up.
I added more large areas of color which I like. There's texture there too but you can't see it in the pic above. The type treatment was an idea I got and wanted to see how it would work. Basically, I have a set of alphabet letter cookie cutters. I put paint on the edges and stuck them to the canvas to make the imprints. Once they dry, I will paint in those areas.
P.S. -- The woman who fell last week was not in class. Hope she's alright.....
