Progress Photos

The title pretty much explains it all.


Unprimed canvas. I was so excited I forgot to prime the canvas and started painting (which is a big NO NO.) When Jason the new painting professor found out he looked at me like I was wearing white jeans after labor day.


Source photo. I realized I forgot to include a picture of the sink I have installed on my table in my studio. (See below.)




I jigsawed a hole into the table and "installed" my sink really I just set it into the hole but I like to pretend that it was a more complex process. Then I put a bucket under the pipe to catch the initial drips of paint while I'm arranging the dyed thread. After I photograph the thread, I switch out the bucket for a piece of paper and catch the thread on the piece of paper.

Anyways I started painting on Saturday (9.10) and the following picture shows the results of my efforts.


The photo below shows the results of my time in the studio today. (Tuesday 9.13) I was able to focus on the bottom left today. Eventually I will add the red stains that are on the surface of the sink in the source photo but I am trying to get everything arranged and in the process of drying before I begin that.


I'm really enjoying this project and I hope you are enjoying reading about it!
