Intense Art Week

This week I have to say has been really successful. Drawing people's face has always been my downfall and I don't tend to practice it since I am not good at it and as Luke said "People that suck at something don't tend to do it". My case exactly! Drawing grids also help a lot with seeing relationships between the eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. I have been able to draw faces more realistically and proportionally too. Also I have never learned color concepts but just tend to blend colors that seem complementary.  I enjoyed this week a lot even though it has been brain frying. It doesn't require a lot of work but it tends to just fry your mind when you start to grid the points.  Thought the results are successful I think this had helped me improve on seeing relationships.

After reading what fresco is and how famous artist would use this material I have actually became very interested in how this material works. Since it was considered to be "only for men" I really wonder how it would feel to actually use this and what makes the feel different than oil. Since it dries really fast it is interesting how artist adapted to using this type of material. Also it seems that back then the artist reputation was to see who can outdo each other like Leonardo Da Vinci .and Michelangelo. I was also surprised by how much they were respected but earned very little money. With the exception of Michelangelo earning 3, 00 ducets which is equivalent to 301, 456 U.S. dollars. I thought that the packet actually wasn't half bad and help me learn about the history of some artist.
