Artist's Comments

Another painting for my acrylics class at Ringling. Shoes are a bitch to paint, I’ll tell you that! The biggest lesson I learned from this painting is never be too scared or too proud to ask for help. If you can’t figure out what to do, chances are the teacher will. Don’t get frustrated and give up. Actually, that’s something the whole program (with some help from my dad) taught me. I’m really glad I went.


At one point, they had to move everything in the room around for critique and we had to mark where our shoes were off with tape. However, that did NOTHING because the people who moved stuff UNPEELED THE TAPE. Bastards. So we had to figure out where our stuff was on our own.

Those jerks. Anyway, I like the color scheme here. Which makes me wonder why there is so little color in your gallery.

Thanks! It was required that we use either burnt sienna or yellow ochre. THe reason there isn't a lot of color in here is because...I'm too lazy to really color anything, let alone color something well.

Good reason. Laziness can be terrible, but I think that it needs to be respected more.
I was happy to see these two paintings because A: they were in paint, and B: they show a greater grasp of subtlety than most of your drawings. I don't know if this means you should paint more, or if it means you should be more sketchy with your drawings.

Well, most of the drawings I have posted here are just doodles from various half-filled sketchbooks. There’s hardly anything that took actual effort.

Doodles are cool today.

True.

Not as cool as intricately detailed digital paintings, though.

Fair enough. I prefer traditional media myself. Also intricately detailed.

Anything intricately detailed, actually.

Okay, apeaking of details.(probably being a horrible nit-picker).

Is it intentional when you say "...and monkeys do to (if..." ?
