2023/9/3. Good evening everybody. Here's my first assignment for this section. Thanks for any comment or critique.

Had a lot of difficulty with the assignment. I tried to stay around the 30 minute mark, but this proved relaly challenging. Perhaps I should have allowed myself more time to properly internalise the values and colours. Though this is what I have for now. I also did some quick 5-10 minute speedpaints for 2 of the references provided.

Painting without an undersketch or drawing is abnormal to me...guess it only reveals my weakness as an artist therefore it was crucial I do this assignment to learn speed painting. So glad I did too xD

Really really love this assignment. I'm going to start doing ~30 minute speed paints of master studies as my warm up. Speed-painting is really nice if you don't concern yourself with proportions and only focus on getting the correct colors, values and edges. But having such large proportional mistakes and unappealing shapes does bother me though... It really kills the piece for me. I'll continue doing 30ish minute speed-paints but I'll use the first 2 mins for a lay-in. I got sucked into the first painting and completely forgot to update my progress. Sorry! I posted 1 minute time-lapses of these 3 studies on YouTube. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links here but if you need to see the full progress my YT is linked on my Proko account Also, I should have really pushed the blurred edges on my speed-paints. Critiques always welcome
