Bodoni Painting :: Day 1
For my Typography class, I was given the classic typeface Bodoni as a basis for designing a promotional brochure and poster. Additionally, we were given the freedom of choosing our third deliverable. I’m so stoked about this one because I am going to do a painting.
I’ve been drawing and painting all my life and went to school for it at Edinboro University (I guess I should be saying, “Go Scots!”). Now, with the amount of work to be done for school at PC, I just haven’t found, or rather made the time to paint. I’ve been jonzin’ hard.
Anyway, I plan on updating this blog with pictures of the progress, hopefully, at least every other day. We’ll see. It’s rather large…4′x4′. I should have taken pictures of building the beast. If I don’t have to, I try not to buy pre-built canvases. I like to build them myself. For me, there’s just something more meaningful when I paint on a canvas I actually build. At galleries and museums, I sometimes end up staring at the canvases from the side to try and see how they’re built.
So here we go…open, blank canvas.
