day 1

I loved this, I'm usually the kind of person that will seek perfection as much as i can, but I allowed myself to not be perfect and messed up some parts on purpose and I still loved the end result, can't wait for the rest of the days.

day 2

today was a little harder, i live in mexico and right now the weather is quite warm! i struggled with keeping the wet parts wet and getting an even shade of black, even the paint on my plate was drying up! I'm even working on a smaller than suggested paper, can't even imagine how hard it would've been on my a4. I enjoyed it anyway, i don't know if this is the best i could do but, i like the end result, i also used granulating black paint and i love the effect, rarely use it because it doesnt match that well with my usual pieces but i loved using it, it's fun to see the water do its thing on a paint like this 7 day project (finished!!) - image 2 - student project

day 3

this was difficult, again it dried too quickly. the end result i like tho, i feel more comfortable doing a little more on my own and not depend on what Jane is doing all the time. also, this color, (royal purple by daniel smith) is very fun and scary to work with, i never use it because i'm scared of how it'll affect the piece, using it on its own was a good test to see how it behaves, still scary but fun to see the result. also ignore the hair, it was not a good hair day.

day 4

this color was not ideal for this project, i've been finding them harder somehow too? not sure why

day 5

this color was also not the best, but i like the result anyway, i think this one was one of the easiest for me, idk if its good but i am happy with it

day 6

i did all 5, 6 and 7 together, i thought it would make it easier once i had my hand warmed up but this one was challenging, i'm not used to doing male portraits and on top of that, older faces are just more difficult. went back to indigo as i knew i could get darks, i'm not sure if i like it but i don't hate it

day 7

probably the hardest one and i made it even harder for myself by choosing a color that granulates. boy i had issues, i don't think the darks are dark enough, which is crazy because this is literally black, but i did what i could, this angle was also difficult for me, i might repeat this one, i feel like i can do better than this. used some white marker to get back some lights on the hair, a mess but i like the mess just not sure about the angle and shadows
