Norman Rockwell (American, 1894 - 1978), Wet Paint, 1930, oil on canvas.

Hand painting

Finished another piece last night. For the portraits I was actually tracing over the base silhouettes, but with this one I drew it without tracing. It's so weird that it's easier to draw a hand - the scourge of all artists - than it is to draw a face, the thing I spend the most time drawing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I still take the colours directly from the photo though.

Anyways here's the finished piece, with the reference below it.

I remember this one because it was in the syllabus for the EVAU, which is the exam that you have to take in Spain to enter college, and was one of the last chapters we had to study

as an art historian i usually assume people know more about art history than they usually do so i'm actually very curious

as always u can rb for bigger sample size but this is just curiosity for me :)

It has apparently been ten years since the time one of my professors pulled me aside to tell me I had to clean up after making out before going to class because my lipstick was everywhere and I realized "actually my tapdancing group decided we all had to dress like the Joker for our performance" was an infinitely worse explanation so I just said I was sorry

oh my god if i could please find my executive function again that would be nice! they left with the milk before i was born though so that might be a problem! hehe :3

i need a schedule but i am wildly incapable of sticking to my own. give me loose deadlines and all hell breaks loose.

Sir Edwin Henry Landseer (English, 1802–1873), "Miss Ellen Power" (c. 1840 - 1841)

hey, don’t cry. one half flour one half yogurt knead into dough and fry for easy flatbread and dip in balsamic vinegar, okay?

So it's been a few weeks, I had multiple auditions, fall break, and some rest, but this weekend, it was time to actually do stuff again. I worked on some choreography and a warm up to teach tomorrow, and I started the reading assignment for my ballet class. I also voted! Well, I haven't sent the ballot yet, as I have to do mail in ballot, but once I find where on campus I can send mail, that will be done. I'm also finally registered for my classes next semester, and even though I had to change my minor, I'm excited for them.

I normally don't like to post about politics or what's happening around the world, I know what's happening but I need this little space of the internet to be blissfully unaware of it. A little content warning ⚠️ I'm going to talk about it in the most realistic way possible, if it triggers you don't read it, I'm going to talk about deceased people and the reality of the people of valencia at this moment. So if any of these things aren't your cup of tea I get it, don't read, mental health comes first.

So this is one of the few times I'm breaking that no post policy to speak about what is happening in Valencia, Spain, I'm not from that specific comunidad autónoma but is something that affects all Spain, not just economically, also on personal levels, I know people that has been affected by it and they told us that they were speaking one another to go and be able to identify the corpses of their loved ones, that the death's on the news are way lower that the reality, we have over 2000 missing people. This is a very serious hit to our country, it has passed over night and the governor of valencia is doing a nefarious work in trying to mend it, we had the king and queen, the president of the Spain and the one of the comunidad Valenciana going there and being thrown rocks, and other things,( I would also like to add that people were calling the king and queen everything, that's normally considered treason, but with how people were reacting to them and the fact that with one wrong move we would have the third republic the had to bear with it, not to pity them, just an important fact) because no helping has been able to go there and they are wasting resources and time in cleaning and getting food for the people. We have underground parking that are graveyards, the people of the UME (the Spanish special forces for things like this) are going to need a physiatrist for all they are seeing, the same with normal people. They don't have anything and all because the president of the comunidad Valenciana decided to not listen to Aemet and cutting on the emergency unit a few years ago. If the UME and the people don't clean the streets we are also going to have problems with various quite dangerous virus, like typhus, but the military nor volunteers can access most of the towns nor there are enough people because the president of valencia, doesn't want to accept help from anyone, not form other of the 16 community's or from other countries, France sent 200 firefighters with out permission because we couldn't handle it, and the president of valencia ended up asking for 500 military men and the president of spain sent 5000.

I kind of needed to rant, because we have boxes and boxes full of basic need things, food, clothes... And buses full of volunteers that also aren't being distributed because they don't know how to do it, and they put the wrong people to do the things.

In my page there are a few charity webs that I'll also link, and artists that will do commissions and donate it to Valencia, if you are from Spain and prefer to donate food and other things instead of money, like me, in all big shopping centers there are places to do so, and if you are a college student at least in madrid they are also taking donations to send to Valencia.

Thanks so much for reading all this.
