hey guys, wanting to check in on everyone - we have a progress mark happening on wednesday and i'm only maybe a third of the way through with my bow!!! (three out of maybe 6 pieces started, none finished... though they're all anywhere from half - 9/10ths done, lol) i'm charging it in the next couple days. anyone else in the same boat? hopefully much more prepared than me, though? heheh

as for trials though i found the paper very straightforward. did anyone else do the catholic trial?

Wow, you've only done 3 out of. 6 pieces? So you have 3 empty canvases? No offence but you better go full on mode. There's only less than 14 days left.

All of my paintings are almost finished but I still feel that it's not good enough. Like there's a lot of detail I need to refine. And I need to frame it and stuff like that lol.

oh man, no, if i had three empty canvases i'd be freaking out. nah, i'm doing drawings, and the ones i have left to do are all smaller than a4. i'm still behind ofc but not THAT far behind. totally within my capacity to have everything done and dusted by d-day. since posting that i've finished the piece i started yesterday and it's probably the best one so far. i'm a fast worker as long as i'm feeling the pressure.

idk i find that once my pieces are finished (or even just very close to being finished) i don't wanna touch them any more. forget going back and refining... i get bored of them so easily :/

i think we're allowed to frame and such after due date, though. as long as we're not altering the works. i think mounting is fine, but anyway you have another two-ish weeks to cover that, so you'll be set i'm sure.

I hope so haha. I'm like freaking out. Are you doing drawing? If it's drawing then that should be fine. I'm doing acrylic paining. Thank goodness it dries quickly. If I'm now doing oil painting I think I would've died lol.

yep, drawings. just pencil on paper. simple stuff... and yeah oils would be tricky, they take SO long to dry. i remember once i used oils without knowing they were like that... it took three days for my thing to dry :'(

Well done!

 

[milkytea99]

Btw, how long does it take varnish to dry? I'm planning on which day to varnish it

 

[milkytea99]

Although all of my artworks are painted, I still feel like I'm very behind lol. I don't know is it my perfectionist tendencies haunting me lol

 

[StudyToDeath]

Varnish doesn't take long to dry however you need to do at least two coats.
According to the instructions you are suppose to let acrylic paint cure for a week.
I've done it without waiting for it to cure and it turned out fine lol

I use to be a perfectionist with my paintings until I realised you view paintings from a distance.
There are no imperfections in art

Ok thanks! I know there's this good varnish brand sold in art shop, it says that you can repaint over it when it's dry. Btw, Have you finished your work?

I've already framed my work. Just haven't varnished it. I'm still not pleased with a lot of parts in my painting
