Today, I started the project. Ron-Li wants paintings of a forest / tropical jungle-esque setting with Indian & Tibetan flavor, with a green/red/orange/gold/purple color palette, elephant with a bouquet in its trunk, and an owl, along with anything else I can come up with. I decided to so the elephant first, and combined 3 pictures to make up the picture. I gridded that, and the canvas, and then started transferring. Once I was done transferring, I started painting. I painted the elephant gold, and the background purple. I haven't started on the flowers yet.
Today, I went to Michaels, and got supplies for the project. I decided to change my project from a cookbook, to doing art for a friend's office in New York. I am still going at it from the Human Ingenuity angle. My question is going to be "How can my art change and improve how Ron-Li feels about her office?"
