Starting in the Shop – Daily Brief (Feb. 07, 2020)

Overview

Thoughts:

Yesterday was a good day in the studio.  I was able to overcome my apprehensions about adding a new element to the garden path painting.  I think I’ll be able to overcome the issues I am seeing as the design evolves.

Today is starting in the shop and I am hopeful that I have a good plan of attack for the jig I am going to make to make the jig for the frames…

Review

Office:

  • What Happened? Experimented with green screen in video.
  • What Went Right? It was a lot easier with an actual green screen than previous attempts.
  • What Went Wrong? Too many wrinkles in the green screen.
  • Why? Didn’t take the time to iron them out.
  • Lessons Learned: I need to iron the cloth in order to get a better affect and improve editing.

Studio:

  • What Happened? Started on final element of the garden path painting.
  • What Went Right? I started
  • What Went Wrong? The affect is a bit muddier than I would like.
  • Why? I didn’t think to mask the area when I started the painting.
  • Lessons Learned: Plan out the more involved paintings when I am able to do so.
