This week for my free inquiry I started the planning period of my painting. For my planning I use a digital art program called Procreate. I prefer doing my initial sketching digitally as I can easily move around and resize my sketch without having to re-draw anything. It also is less wasteful than doing my sketches on paper. I was also able to use the screen recording software built into my IPad to capture my sketching process. Then I used IMovie to speed up the footage, condensing it from 10 minutes down to a little less than 2 minutes.
This week I also got to take trip to one of my favourite stores, Micheals! When I was there I was looking for canvases, as well as some paint. While looking for canvases I had a stroke of inspiration, a round canvas caught my eye. So I made a quick decision and swapped the bottom square canvas for a round one! My painting is also going to be monochromatic, so I picked up some blue paint. Below you’ll see the items I picked up from Micheals!
