Hey guys! Sorry for not updating the blog with new posts, but I have been super busy with my oil painting class, painting everyday!  Since my last post, I have been busy painting, I literally just wake up eat, wash up and lock myself up in the art room and just do my paintings until the weee hours in the morning, and start allll over the next day! I have been doing that for the past 2 weeks and including this week, so I really had no time to post. :(

But today I found some time to do a update post, yayyy! :D I'm currently doing my FINAL PAINTING which is due June 1st, and I hope it will turn out DOPE (that's my expectation, haha)! :D  I'm verrry excited about it, and can't wait to SHOW YOU GUYS!  Def. my fav painting I have done so far ;D

My oil painting that I'm currently doing for my oil painting class, and it's due the following Friday.

We had to choose a interior space within the art building or like around the art building, and well I choose the .....ummm...it's like a patio? of the art building. I really loved the big window spaces (I don't know the correct word, sorry), and I thought it would make a good composition. ^^

I have a loot of more stuff to add on to the painting, more shadows, details, adding tree branches and then the highlights at the end, a lot of work ahead of me, I hope it won't be frustrating? haha *crosses fingers* 

So I will be busy alll week doing this painting, and if I finish early, I will DEF. SHOW YOU GUYS! ;D

I'd like to call this painting, Gonna Get My Nails Did ;D

The nail polish at the far end on the right, the black spot is the nail polish brush :D
I love that polish bottle, because of that part ♥
Sooo much fun painting nail polishes! :D

The buffer, I realllly wanted to get the effect of all the scratches on my buffer and I did, and it was fun to do. :D

My mom thought at first  the cotton balls were walnuts....LOL.

This is my 2nd black & white still life painting that I did for my oil painting class, and I did this painting like in April (somewhere around my spring break) and actually left it like the last minute, 2 nights before it was due, and well I hustled, and had no time to be a picky painter and I just had to quickly paint. I only painted this painting for 2 nights, because I had to wait for the evening/night so the room can be dark and that I can turn on my light source and quickly paint away!

For my still life h.w., I didn't want to do the typical veggies and fruits, ugh hate that shit! >.< I realllly wanted to paint something fun and of my interest. So I thought of having a set of nail polishes and supplies as if I'm gonna do my nails and thought it was a fun idea to have a nail polish open and a lil splatter on the paper towel! :D

I really loooove this painting, I had fun with it and SURPRISINGLY IT WAS EASY TO PAINT! Who knew nail polishes would be easy to paint?! I thought it would be hard because of the reflections and I actually had nooo idea the nail polishes were gonna turn out good, because of how quickly I was painting, I thought I was going to do a sucky job, lol, but it was completely opposite and I shocked myself. :D lol

I guess, being LESS PICKY, and just not doing too much thinking and rather going with the flow makes me paint better and surprise myself? Where as, if I do a lot of thinking, I tend to screw something up and then I want to fix my mistake, thinking I'm going to fix it, but I just make matters worse. :/

I enjoyed doing this painting, and over summer I would LOOOOVE to do a COLOR VERSION! I was thinking, maybe I should do a lil collection of nail polishes and me interacting with nail polishes? I don't know, but I'm looking forward to do some painting ideas. :D

I know one eye is bigger than the other :/ lol

Remember how I told you guys in this post, how I might start all over or not on my portrait painting? Welll...I started over with a new canvas, because I was not happy with the first "me portrait".  It didn't look like me, and when I came home, my mom and sister were all like, "THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE YOU!" LOL My sister was like mad, and she said, "That's U-G-L-Y, and you're E-L-I-Z-A!" LMAO! She's soo funny and cute, I love her :D ♥

So anyways, I started over, and worked on this painting for 4 days and we weren't allowed to use pictures to paint our faces, we had to use a mirror, and for this painting we used a limited palette in the colors of Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ocher, and no black, we had to make our own black. 
I worked very hard on this painting, and it was REALLLY FRUSTRATING! To the point, that I almost released my anger on to the canvas.....yikes....lol, by wanting to just poke a hole with my paintbrush. :P I absolutely hated doing my portrait, I had problems with the skin tone, neck area and omgod, who knew the lips would be hard to do.  I was looking forward on doing my lips, and thought it would be easy to do, because I do a good job painting lips with acrylics, and watercolor, but oh man....this was another story! I had a very hard time getting my actual lip color, I couldn't even get a pinky color going on. -.- 
The easiest part of doing this painting was doing my hair, that was pretty easy and kind of fun and surprisingly painting my dark gray shirt. :D I love the wrinkles on the right side of the shirt more so than on the left side. :)
Oh! And even though I worked several times on the skin tone, of going back and forth and trying to make it better, I MANAGED TO GET MY BUTTON NOSE!!! :D I WAS VERRRY HAPPY! LOL I was like, I GOT MY NOSE! lol :D  Sooo my portrait painting looks half like me and half not like me but.... at least I my nose came out just like mines! ;D
And let me let you guys know, I have done a  few self portraits in the past before, in pencils, watercolor, acrylics and color pencils, and they ALL TURNED OUT LIKE ME! But this was the only medium, in which my portrait came out looking like half of me, it's hard. :/ I don't think I'll do another self portrait of me, but well...I mean, if I DO, I def. want to make like funny faces and add some fun to it. :D
