Episode 3 is How to Paint Trump, which has been the big hang up. Basically everything I've done since January 2017 is technically part of that episode. I'm now at the point where I'm ready to start on camera production for the back half of the episode, then working my way through going back and trimming the beard and hair to do different scenes for different notable time periods since the Trump administration has begun.

But also the plan has been to do episodes 4-~7 with the beard, then shave it off for an episode doing episodes 9, 10, 1, and 2 in production order.

So like. Production schedule:

Episode 3e
Episode 4
Episode 5
Episode 6
Episode 7a
Episode 3d
Episode 3c
Episode 3b
Episode 3a
Episode 7b
Episode 8
Episode 9
Episode 10
Episode 1
Episode 2

>theres no point in chicken scratching
aesthetic flourish. i do what I want. There's no point in anything.
>the other is needing dozens of tiny lines to make a simple shape.
I'm nothing if not manic.
>its not about hand drawings, its about your inability to draw, which shows in your paintings.
Which, AGAIN, is ok with me. In fact it's kind of the point. The entire circlejerk appeal of Van Gogh is that he had an amateurish impulsiveness to what he did. I've always been more drawn to the idea of innovation through educated ignorance or childish spontaneity or however you want to describe it. It's a wabi sabi aesthetic I strive for. Clashing of the Mondrian concept with entropy and imperfection and impusiveness and junk. Structure subverted by disorder and human chaos.
>pic related, this useless "hand drawing" is all you need to start painting
No shit. I've done quite a few paintings from nothing. Generally for me the canvas approach is about the process. The first thing you do is cover the lines with a bunch of gesso. Painting isn't about the fucking lines it's about the process afterwards, which is why it's amusing to me how triggered you assholes get that I don't sit around drawing triangles on the canvas or whatever. Doing a graphite transfer for a lot of them involved more effort than it was worth but it's the process.
>but you only know how to color between the lines why would you care.
Yeah exactly. It doesn't matter. It's coloring a doodle. That's what art is.
>I do, I've painted with almost every medium, but Im just focusing on oils atm.
Neat. I'm not. Everybody is "focusing on oils" because it's easier and more blandly appealing. I paint with acrylics with a printmaking layering technique where I work on a bunch of paintings as the colors come up. I kind of actively and fundamentally did not give an uppity shit about what the correct approaches may have been. And every effort and failure and success is captured.

>You have a better grip on color and you don’t seem to blend every tone with black.
yeah I would like to say for the record that I was knowingly using black to fuck up paintings after I would get frustrated throughout the first year. Like I fucked up hot dog harrison paintings early on >>3505251 and used black outlines on it and it turned out ok to me so I kept chasing that kind of look and it kept not working out and then I kept doing it out of spite.

I still kind of think it can be interesting to weirdly use black, but the whole year 2 thing has become about literally never using black paint, which definitely makes them considerably less overtly-retarded looking.
