First Post?

Okay, so the actual title of this blog is: During the Course of the Summer, I Will Listen to Music and Then Paint Pictures, and Then Post the Results in This Blog (There Will Usually Also Be Accompanying Words)

With that out of the way, welcome! Here the deal is.

I have decided that, to prepare myself for AP Art next school year, I am going to need a lot of practice. To this end I will try to come up with a new piece of artwork (mostly) daily. To make things interesting (and keep myself from just drawing a ton of robots and explosions), I have come up with a few ground rules.

For each piece, I am going to (A) Listen to a song, selected randomly through iTunes and (B) paint something using the song as inspiration. There is no need for the resulting piece to have any sort of correlation to the song, just whatever random images my subconscious responds with.

Everyone clear? Good. Let's see what we have for today (Thursday).

Love is Gone - Matthew Sweet


I think I may actually add more to this later, but for now it is good. So! This time I managed not to drink any paint-water, however I did end up knocking over my ink well and spilling a good deal of it. Luckily it was on a tile floor! I managed to get most of it back, and put the remaining ink on the floor to use as well. So! Bonus time - you actually get two pieces of art today! Okay so actually it is a piece of crap.
