Isn't It Odd How Much Fatter A Book Gets When You've Read It Several Times? As If Something Were Left

5/30 Productivity day

This is one is for introduction to color, which is my favorite class. I'm this exercise we need to copy a drawing and colour it in the warm and cold colors, which is unexpectedly hard, because this drawing has both, when I finish this assignment I'll post it all together.

hard lesson to learn but it has been important for college: ask professors for extensions BEFORE you desperately need it, rest BEFORE you're exhausted, skip class BEFORE you're too exhausted to go to class, cancel obligations as soon as the vibes are off, etc

there's been five times so far where I was like "Should I ask for this extension/go home early/skip this class?" and each time I've been incredibly thankful I did it and I felt better afterwards.

Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)

I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.

Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth

But have you seen the costume she's wearing??

It's gorgeous, obviously.

But that texture! It's *crochet*

And some knitting

Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.

Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.

Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

Okay, so right now I'm doing a detail of one of the statues of my class and then I'll paint it with coffee, the other drawing is a sketch of a bigger project, I have to replicate a painting, and I decided to do woman sitting, by Poldi Lodzinsky. Right now this drawing is in the Thyssen museum, in Madrid

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 :)

Okay, so today's exam was weird, cause the teacher didn't put any of the art we technically had to study for today, so we had to be guessing in an interesting way. The only good thing is that I know like half of the paintings and can be saying weird facts I know about the rest because the painting can give you a lot of information.
