Nature Color Studies.
Yet again „the walk“, I guess you know every single tree as well as I do right now ... BUT: I tried few things with the rendering, both while taking the shots and when processing them. When shooting I used a Kenko Nostaltone Orange, which is basically a diffusor and warming filter combined. That's where the color and softness comes from. I used a zoom lens all the way open, which gives vignette and fall off and a bit of additional softness. when proscessing them in LR and PS I payed attention to „fill the highlights with color“ and control the highlights in general. There was a beautiful „soft sunshine“ today (partially cloudy), and the light was so nice I hope I could capture that a little bit at least.
William (Bill) White III, retired BLM Physical Scientist, and a team of BLMers used a mud auger to drill salt core samples for salt thickness study. This methodology was used by Bill in 1988 and again in 2003 for salt thickness measurements that occur every 15 years. Bill chose to drill these cores next to holes previously made by the University of Utah's sonic drill with the intention of comparing his results and older methods to the University of Utah results with their new methods.
August's color design class challenge was with analogous colors. I've been doing t-shirts and thread painting with a picture taken of a serpentinite rock slab Monte has. I print the picture from my computer, through the ink-jet printer, onto iron-on transfer paper. I decided to have it be my base "material" for the art quilt, along with a photo of a rock formation reflection Monte took in Norway. Then I printed some other photos reflecting tools and scenes from his geology world.
Serpentinite is like the origin of life substance (Monte of course would say this differently). It's related to the oil world. Origin relates to DNA. When Googling DNA, I saw lots of spiraling images, so was thinking spiral or diagonal when laying out the images. When taking geologist/scientists on a field trip through California, Monte took a picture of an oil bubble, capturing his and Stan's reflection in the bubble. I put the bubble image somewhat in the center.
So the dominant analogous color is green shades with some blue as accents. Then I printed a saying he's had in his office for years -
"Little boys who pick up rocks
either go to prison or become geologists.
"Geologists are Boy Scouts who hated to give up camping
when they went to college, so they majored in geology.
"A geologist listens to more silly questions
than any other human, and he must
weigh each answer with the greatest of skill.
"Have pity on him. He's just as lonesome as he looks,
He'd love to tell you everything he knows,
but he doesn't know how."
I was going to dye some material to add to the composition, but decided the photo image materials were enough. After stitching it all together I couched a variegated green yarn around each picture - this is the "quilting" thru the layers. There is a bamboo batting and a camo material backing. I crocheted a long "string" and attached it all around as the edging. I was going to crochet a lot of rectangles with the yarn to fill in the edges making it a total rectangle, but Monte likes it best with it's funky perimeter.
i really like the idea of a bookshelf with one book per cubbyhole. i think most people that display crowded bookshelves are fronting.
Assefaw Bariagaber, Ph.D., director of the Post-Conflict State Reconstruction and Sustainability certificate program and professor at Seton Hall's School of Diplomacy and International Relations, led a group of 15 students on an African Union study tour in Ethiopia from March 5 to March 15, during the University's spring break. The tour included both cultural highlights of Ethiopia's rich history and academic seminars on the African Union, which is headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital.
"The opportunity to participate in this sort of study abroad program was one of the things that drew me to Seton Hall,"says diplomacy master's student John Pollock. "As someone who studied archeology and paleoanthropology as an undergraduate, I'm particularly thrilled to visit the National Archeological Museum to see Lucy [one of the earliest human ancestors ever discovered]."

These are just color studies- I drew the circles, scanned them, and then printed blocks of them so I could test colors on them before I committed to an entire watercolor painting.
The Loyola Program in India offers students the opportunity for summer study in regions of North India that are striking for their cultural diversity, natural beauty and historical richness. The program is based in Dharamsala, located in the Kangra Valley in the shadow of the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas.
8/52 [Study Process]
This weeks theme was "Books" so before i went to sleep, i thought of this idea, and to remember it, i got up from bed and actually wrote down the detail on the PC. Today (sunday), I got around to doing this, and also doing actual studying. Yep, too much procrastinating during the weekdays. I wanted to do this orig...inally in a library setting, but figured that i might not get permission to do it there so i just made a setting in my house. I would have preferred the library though. Well tell me what you guys think.

Painting this study really encouraged me to paint more quickly. I usually have trouble finishing paintings quick enough so the rough brushstrokes and abstract nature of the piece gave me the freedom to complete the painting sooner. While painting like this is quite freeing, it is also much harder than I expected to make it look like a recognisable face.
CGT 321: Digital Lighting and Rendering
February, 2010
Assignment: Use given still life model to create three lighting studies. Use only lighting techniques and considerations such as color temperature, gobos, shadows, motivation, angle, and intensity. Also consider camera angle and aspect ratio. Use no additional modeling or textures.
At the open studio, I complained that the longest pose would be this one since I found it boring.. In the end it turned out to be my favorite work of the day. Used a number of apps such as sketchbook, a background in brushes, modified it with I do not remmeber what and this simple nude is the result.
Drawing charcoal on paper
I worked on the theme of war for a competition. Difficult issue for me, I try to reconcile the ancient painting with modern painting.
I have taken inspiration from "Massacre of the Innocents" of 1600 and a little to Goya.
this little study painting is now done...sadly I'm not going to get to keep this little gem...Noah's mummy wants it!!! so off it goes on Wednesday!
Taking a study break in the WPI gym. (We stayed in the WPI gym because we couldn't say with students at Holy Cross.)
