Rusty Stairs

As I hadn't worked on Medea yet, I was put on the task on doing the rust touch ups. However, once again I was rather slow and I feel I spent too much time up close instead of standing back and trying to quickly get the rusty effect. I do think that Jude, Rose and Soph did an amazing job on the stone work and it looks AMAZING! I am rather happy with my rust work, but I'm just annoyed i'm such a slow coach!

Mistakes!

I don't know why I found this piece so frustrating, I just kept on making mistake and when i looked back at the model piece it seemed rather easy and shouldn't have found it so hard! I found drawing the curves at the top above the door way really hard, and i seemed to keep on making more mistakes when I was trying to speed up as at the start of the day we were told we needed to pick up our working speed. I think I'm just scared of making mistakes, and my work looking really rubbish so I take my time so that I don't need to redo it. Urghhhh this is an area I do really need to improve on: getting quicker! Apart from that, the rest of the piece went rather well, actually that is a bit of a lie as I needed to go round the door frame and the and circles with a lighter wash as we had made colours to dark and not very interesting. However, looking at my photo's I think the end piece looks rather good :)

Bad at blogging

I have been so bad recently at blogging, I don't know why I haven't found time to do it - to be honest I have just been lazy but her here is to making a conscious effort to start blogging regularly again. Anyhoo back to Aladdin the panto and my time in scenic. Its been alot of hard work, sometimes I feel myself getting annoyed that I make stupid mistakes like painting rubbish lines, or having to many holidays in my paint work but i'm getting angry as well as upset with myself because I am defiantly the slowest person in the department. Sometimes I stand back from my work and I can't believe how long it took me to do it, so I'm going to try so much harder to pick up the pace.
