Preparing wooden panels

-

Consulting the project with my tutor, we decided to paint 2D outcomes on wooden panels that I could make in the workshop, saving time and money rather than buying it online. 

After receiving the materials, the workshop tutor explained to me how to make them and the rest of the work I could make on my own.

Firstly, I clamped the wooden planks in a vice and glued them together. Then I placed the surface and kept the weights on the top to ensure it won't come out. I kept them on for about half an hour and repeated the process 3 times more.


I took the wooden panels for my painting to the studio to cover them with gesso and sand it. Listening to the advice, I bought the wet and dry sandpaper and sanded it several times when gesso dried and repeated the process 5 times.

    These look really well made - well done Michal! Much better to make them yourself than buy them online. We can talk about adding a 'ground' colour this week. Remember to show EVERY step of your process.

This post presents my first ideas about the new project for art portfolio 2. The sketches might be used while painting and sculpting the works for this project. Also, I have done calligraphy specific to the Renaissance as this theme seems the most attractive to me among the others.    At this moment, I am considering recreating some of the paintings in expressionism using the tones, colours and fonts characteristic of this era.

Tell me a story

The story of my project will present the maximization of emotional expressions and feelings shown in the original pieces. The main idea of this project will be a recreation of the paintings from the Renaissance painted by Polish artists such as Jan Matejko and Lukasz Porebski. At this moment, I'm considering creating portraits of the people presented in their most famous paintings. The concept of this work is focusing on their facial expressions creating busy and messy backgrounds.

This post presents my reflection on the second term for art portfolio: During the major project for Art portfolio, I struggled with many aspects of the process, and I can't say I'm fully satisfied with the final outcome as it still might be improved. However, I did my best during these few weeks. I searched the information about the artists, colours and sleep paralysis to present the topic correctly. I have created many side paintings and sketches that I'm satisfied more or less, but it helped me to improve my painting skill and general knowledge about creating. I searched for many helpful materials and used inconvenient tools to get closer to reaching the goal, which was created my best painting until now.  This subject was the most influential for me among the others. It helped me to improve myself as a painter and directed the way. I discovered a real passion for painting, techniques and styles to express myself as an artist in the future. Also, I noticed my mistakes fro...
