Pick-a-Painting Final

Welp, I’m done. So much for process, I guess. But when I do something, I kinda just do it… in one fell swoop. You saw my sketch, at least, yes? Anyway, here’s the final painting for the Pick-a-Painting. Its in sketches right now, because I, once again, took this photo with my iPhone. And it looks terrible again, ha! Perhaps because I just noticed how filthy the lense is.

Anyway, its in sketches til I get a better picture. However, the gallery intends to photograph each piece in a more professional manner, so I’ll just use their photo once they’re done and put it in my portfolio. Or pull out my SLR to do it myself. MEH.

I also designed the invites for the event, so I’ll have to photograph those too. Soon, soon my friends!

I’m currently working on a little painting for a charity event called Pick-a-Painting, hosted at the Gallery where I work. The concept of the event is simple. Local artists are given free canvases in a range of smaller sizes (12×12 to 6×8) to paint and decorate and return to the Gallery. Then the Gallery host a party where they put all the donated works on display and people purchase $100 tickets to the event. All the ticket stubs are put into a hat and each are drawn. Then the corresponding ticket-holder is able to pick their choice of painting off the wall.

Here’s my contribution — so far. I apologize for the poor quality photo! I took it with my iPhone in the poor lighting conditions of my room. I couldn’t find my casual camera and didn’t want to drag out my SLR just to throw this online. If you have any input or suggestions, now is the time to tell me, while I’m still in the pencil stage. It’s based off of a previous sketch in my sketchbook (which you can see a few posts down), and is also called Infinity. I’ll post more process as I go!
