I saw a commercial in which there was a brush that drew a car and was reminded of the workshop on Friday (which also reminded me that I didn't blog about it yet!) I don't have much time to write, so I'll add on more as I think about it, tomorrow.
The workshop was very unexpected, but I enjoyed it. I kind-of get the feeling that in art, this year we're working on simplifying everything before working on the details. Doing the basics.
Brush painting was harder than I thought! The brush picked up a surprisingly large amount of ink. I was reminded a little of how the ink pens (not ballpoints) hold ink! There was also the issue of water. You had to balance the amount of ink, and amount of water, in order to get the kind of stroke you wanted to.
I hope to do more in the future.
Misc: I had a book about brush painting at home. I also have tried to create a brush effect through digital art, but it's very hard. (I tried doing it again during the weekend, and ended up doing something else.)
--- In other news, I'm re-watching Iron Man for the...third or fourth time. Thanks to STAC, I'm noticing more about how the music is used, and thinking about the special effects, and how they filmed things. I also forgot that Jeff Bridges was Obidah. He looks really different than his role as Cogburn...amazing what actors can do!
