Fast Times

Classes just started! Our first exercise was to wander around campus and find some negative spacing. I was drawn to the diagonal slash of light created by these branches.


The exercise did give me some fits, possibly because I haven't painted in about a month and a half. But probably more so because I'm not used to this style of teaching (i.e. "You've got two hours to make a painting ... GO!"). I guess I was also intimidated, to some degree, by my desire to make a good first impression.

I'll post the painting later (my camera's recharging). We're actually required to paint over and evolve it at least three times this week, so if you bear with me I might just wait and post the sequence in its entirety.
