brandonkuehnmfaprogram: Weeks 17 & 18. Final Paintings
http://brandonkuehnmfaprogram.blogspot.com/2009/11/weeks-17-18-final-paintings.html
Thursday, November 19, 2009. Weeks 17 and 18. Final Paintings. I tweaked this one a bit and it's done. Dark mood. No weird little hidden things. Just blue/black/white and a blurry photo. This one was supposed to be a blurry side of the road photo. I am thinking it will be a bit too subtle for the AIB people, but we'll see. There's a small projectile in the upper left. The construction fence, etc. That's a wrap for the 3rd semester. I hope I get to go to school in January. View my complete profile.

brandonkuehnmfaprogram: August 2010
http://brandonkuehnmfaprogram.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 14, 2010. It's a busy month here in Thesisville! I'm borrowing that term from Carolyn Rordam from my group, because I love it! Got my first feedback from advisor Hannah Barrett on the Thesis and it's good! Also working hard on these 3 paintings for my thesis show. Lots of layers, the 2 groundview paintings I'm starting to paint the forrest floor. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

brandonkuehnmfaprogram: July 2010
http://brandonkuehnmfaprogram.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 23, 2010. July, Semester 4. Getting started on 3 large paintings (48 inches wide by 36 inches tall) for my thesis show. All 3 will be the bamboo setting with clouds. The first 2 will be very similar so I'm only posting 1 for now. The last one is looking up. Lots of layers on these already. Lots of thin transparent oily layers hence the high shine and the white outs from my lights on the sides of each. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). July, Semester 4. View my complete profile.

brandonkuehnmfaprogram: Almost Group 4.... Finally!
http://brandonkuehnmfaprogram.blogspot.com/2010/05/almost-group-4-finally.html
Thursday, May 20, 2010. Almost Group 4. Finally! There will be 3 large bamboo paintings, 30 x 40 inches each. With the amount of detail that goes into each one, I think it's a good idea to get a jump on this. This one shows some reference photos in the upper right corner. I did those last fall. I literally had my brother walking around the woods with a smoke bomb while I photographed him. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Almost Group 4. Finally! View my complete profile.

brandonkuehnmfaprogram: July 2009
http://brandonkuehnmfaprogram.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. Weeks 3 and 4. The fire tornadoes are almost done. A group show for the Hinckley Fire Museum gets hung in the middle of the month and this is my entry. My photos aren't looking great with the wet paint/light glare, but hopefully you can get a rough idea. Continuing to paint slowly and meticulously. Lots of small brushes. It's a much slower, more demanding process. Sunday, July 19, 2009. Semester 3: Weeks 1 and 2. These two are both from the perspective of being underwater. Some...

brandonkuehnmfaprogram: April 2009
http://brandonkuehnmfaprogram.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2009. Friday, April 17, 2009. These 3 are obviously smaller and go with that UFO series. They are close to 8 inches by 6 or so. I think these are working well and I will have to see where these go. Another pond one. It's frozen and the white are air bubbles, but they start to feel a bit like galaxies which I like even better!

Friday, October 29, 2010. Cloud Outside Kyoto #3 Detail. Cloud Outside Kyoto #3. Cloud Outside Kyoto #2. Cloud Outside Kyoto #1. Looks like numbers 1 and 2 are done to me. Hannah is checking my 3rd draft of the thesis, and I just sent back my list for readers. Getting close! Also had the gaul to apply to New American Paintings: Current MFA Candidates. We'll see. I won't hold my breath, but how cool would that be? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
