Live Painting again

I'm live painting again tonight and I have big plans for this time around. Going to do display some techniques on stage that I don't think anyone has ever seen done. The closest thing I can describe it as is an aesthetic magic trick. I've always equated being an artist to being a magician. You take something ordinary (like a canvas) and turn into something extraordinary that wasn't there before. So, I've finished the pledge, the turn comes soon, right before the show, and the prestige is on stage and should be quite amazing. It is either going to be totally meant or a total disaster. *shrug* :)

I'm learning so much and developing so many techniques. I don't think I could ever learn as much as from an art school than I could alone and exploring myself. It is tedious but oh so exciting.


Here's the first live painting I did a couple weeks ago. I did everything you see from the top of head, complete artistic improv.

With Love,

Live Painting III

Here is my third live painting. What is interesting about this instance is that the girl painted here didn't appear until the end of the painting. I had painted the girl very quickly at home (it's not very clean) and then applied a new medium I've discovered that allows you to essentially erase paint. So, I painted the entire piece in one color so the figure couldn't be seen underneath. Then I let it dry and packed it up in my car for the show. At the show, I proceeded to paint the background in several layers. I was even allowed to spray paint a bit. And then half way through, I began to expose the painting underneath. People were pretty amazed at my "performance" and kept questioning me about what I described as a "magic trick". Only one person knew what I had done. :) Anyway, I think I will reclaim this idea. That is of the girl as a guitar. <|3

Open Mic

I kind of rocked this week at the open mic. I "freestyled"  a poem. It wasn't totally off the top of the head though. I've had bits and pieces of the poem in my head for a few days previous but none of it was written or memorized. Good times. I haven't felt this good about performing a piece in a long time. :) <|3
