Introduced Artist Research Painting
Research an artist. They can be dead or alive. You will paint in their style. For example, if you choose Vincent van Gogh, the Post-Impressionist, you will use thick brush strokes. Then you will also paint using the artist's subject matter. Vincent van Gogh painted landscapes, portraits, and still lifes. You would need to choose one of those.

Today we experimented with matte medium transfers. We took an image and applied matte medium to the image then placed it on the canvas (image side down), dried it completely, and then with water rubbed the paper off. The image stays.
Apr. 20 - Today we experimented with crackle paste and modeling paste. We only applied the modeling paste to the canvases (all the canvases were provided by me) and then set it aside over the weekend so it could dry. We then worked on the crackle paste for the rest of the period.
Apr. 24 - Today we painted on the modeling paste that we applied last week.
The Experimental Assignment was explained today. In your project use at least one of the mediums demonstrated--Matte Medium Transfer, Crackle Paste, or Modeling. If you want to use more than one go ahead! Your subject matter is up to you. Critique is May 4th.
