Progress Post #35 - May 31, 20195/31/2019 I went with the red, orange, and yellow! And it looks okay I guess. I still hate this painting, and I can't wait to be done. I think I am going to make some drawings for my final project, but I'm not sure if it will look nice. We will see I guess.

Progress Post #35 - May 24, 20195/24/2019 I am in a crisis. I do not know what color to paint the objects. I am starting to hate this painting because, no matter what I do, it looks bad. I have been spending long spans of minutes just staring at it and wondering. The white does not look good and the normal colors don't look good either especially because I have messed up in a couple of places with the chunky stuff and it has overlapped what is supposed to be smooth and now the proportions are funky when I try to paint. I think I am going to go with either red and orange and yellow or purple because they contrast the green nicely. For now, it is simply a thin layer of white because I wanted to cover up the horrendous normal colors below it. Progress Post #34 - May 17, 20195/17/2019 I have most of my painting done. Although, I still need to do the small cosmetic stuff. I am hoping I can finish it quickly over the weekend. I am loving the texture and the green shades, but I wish it did have a little more accuracy. I guess that's what I get for painting with a palette knife and gel mediums. I ran out of heavy gel medium, so now I am using the regular gel gloss and it is so much harder because I need so much more to get a nice chunky texture. I also realized I messed up the background and now need to fill in a very long strip which makes me SAD. Process Post #33 - May 10, 20195/10/2019 I am making decent progress on my painting, but time continues to tick. It takes multiple layers to get any good coverage with the Heavy Gel Gloss Medium that I am using, so it takes a lot of time to get anything covered up. Good thing I am not going for realism or precision, because it is impossible to control the palette knife. My favorite thing is carving out straight lines with the palette knife because it is so satisfying, but it is also immensely difficult. I am going to come in after school some times to work on this because I very much doubt that I will be able to finish it by the due date if I do not.

Xinmo is interesting to me because of how varied and diverse her body of work is. She targets issues that I care about like femininity and feminism, and she has received critical acclaim for the power of her artwork. I want to be as multifaceted as her and have such a strong and deep connection to and vision of her creativity and how she wishes to express such complicated topics as the role of women in society. author.jacqueline. she/her. senior. virginia, usa. art v. archives.
