Trompe L'oiel

Mon Dec 22, 2008, 9:30 PM
15 weeks ago, I embarked on quite possibly the most difficult project of my career as an art student. Trompe L'oiel paintings are sharp-focus still lifes meant to fool your eye into thinking it is an actual 3-d picture. I have never done anything like this before in my life and was extremely nervous.

Today was the critique for our trompe paintings and I am very happy to say I tied for 5th place out of my class of 16.

Of course there were better ones than mine, but looking at my painting skills before this class compared to them now, I have improved so much.

Many thanks to Bob Zappalorti, and excellent painter and teacher. Google the name if you don't know it.

I got credit for Drawing 2. Kickassness!

So I finally was able to apply for SCAD at least. Now I'm going to do it in many other places, and declare financial independence for FAFSA forms...

I MIGHT end up at Paier. Regardless, my work may pay off. I hope summer goes well for ya. Tell Jenna I say the same...

And for the love of interwebs, update this deviantart or find another way to display your stuff. Like I said... That painting would be an awesome board design of some kind. Look into that...
