| Lollipop Trees #1 with pours and dots completed |
Last week was a little short but progress was made on four of the painted object pieces. I finished pouring dots on the lollipop tree piece. This week I plan to wrap this up by adding a pattern to the flat area to the right of the composition. As I look at this piece now, I find myself feeling it should already be complete. The squared-format of the picture plane seems to take away from the overall composition. I've already started cutting out new shapes to build a form that doesn't depend on a square plane as a base.

In the last post, I talked about building up texture on two forms. I finished the texture on both forms last week. I also started staining the first one with layers of glaze. I started with a layer of green, then alternated layers of blue and green with some yellows in the highlights. Overall, I ended up with 7 layers. It is a little darker than I intended but I feel that I have enough depth now to add the final, bright green pour. This week the plan for the second form will be to glaze it in a similar fashion. Using what I learned from the first one, try starting with light washes and do not add dark hues too soon.

Finally, the beads again. I'm really going to push to finish at least one side this week. That's a pretty optimistic goal but I'm sticking to it.
To recap, my painting goals for the week are to...
- Finish lollipop trees
- Build 2 new lollipop tree forms
- Finish 2 candy colored creek glaze paintings
- Build 3 new creek forms, slightly smaller, without relying on a square plane
- Finish 1st half of the beaded creek painting
