Super Productive Project Week is on!
So I’ve got the house to myself while GFW and Co. are out visiting grandma in Merkel. Which means it’s a rare opportunity to listen to loud music till the odd hours of the night and work on All those things that I’ve been meaning to get done.
But, first things first. Today was wrapping up some consulting for Kell. And also getting an awesome start on the Jones Communications website / CMS re-design. After today I’ve got the element layout of the site in place so tomorrow I can focus on getting the content styling in place, and then gradually flesh out the pages and programmatic requirements of the site.
Additionally in order to further my adventures with water soluble oil paints, I’ve decided to start a second piece while working on the first. Its a significantly larger size (14″x18″) But I’ve got plans for attempting something resembling a portrait… But the texture of the canvas in the first piece has become a hindrance so this new piece I’m starting out by layering many coats of gesso and then once dry, sand it back to a smoother surface. Hopefully the texture will help my control of the paint. So tonight has been spent putting down 4 coats so far and hopefully one more before bedtime, and then allow it to dry fully overnight.
So the theory goes the remainder of the week will be a couple hours of website work, followed by some sheep illustrating intermingled with breaks on the paintings. It might all be too much to do but hey.. its summer vacation and I can sleep in til 7:20 now 🙂
