Sistine Chapel First Impression

My first impression of this piece is that it looks "simple". It lacks excitement and isn't very eye catching. I understand it took time and a lot of effort to make, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

First day of splatter

On last Thursday I finally started splattering paint on my peice of wood. I used mostly a icing spreader for cake and tempra or watered down acrylic paint. It worked really good but came out as just splatters and not as many lines like Jackson pollock did. Tomorrow when I start again I'm goin to use a small strainer and let the watered down paint slowly drip through and try and make more of a pattern. I'm thinking lighter colours in the middle and darker as I move farther away from the center of the peice.

Primer over the puddy

At lunch I started priming over the puddy bumps. The texture is very noticeable and I'm excited to start painting.

Today me and Cole made more texture and bumps on my peice of wood for tomorrow when I start painting.
