Michael Beats the Devil Out of It

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Since the project is almost over, this week will be my last painting. If you saw last week's post, then yes, I will end the project with "Flower Boy" by Tyler, the Creator. Revisit last week's blog post to see where I got to. If you read last week's post, you would know that I planned on painting two albums over last week, this week, and next week. I may or may not have forgotten about the actual TED Talk, so I had to scrap that plan. I chose only to finish "Flower Boy". Just for reference, here is the album and my progress so far: For this week, I had to paint Tyler, more flowers, hills in the grass, bees, and clouds. I was very excited to continue painting because I thought I started off pretty darn well. I'm not gonna waste anymore of your time, so here's the last painting: Honestly, I was a little underwhelmed with my final product. I was expecting more out of myself, but it is what it is. I think my bigg...

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Based on this week's title, yes, unfortunately, we are nearing the end of this journey. We have about a couple weeks until the TEDTalk, and the project will be over soon. I've got 2 more albums I plan on painting to finish this incredible learning experience. This week, I will be discussing my painting process for "Flower Boy" by Tyler, the Creator. First, though, we are bringing back our Bob Ross section. It was a sad week last week without watching an episode of his TV show. This episode was called "Divine Elegance". How could I possibly miss out on this episode with a title like that? I was expecting some great things, and I wasn't disappointed. Divine elegance, indeed. I didn't learn any specific techniques or skills in this episode, but I did find the relaxation I needed. It allowed me to make painting the stress reliever it should be. After starting my week with Bob Ross, I was ready to start painting my al...

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be talking about my painting experience this week, which was probably the best week I've had so far. I took this week just to practice painting, so I didn't watch any videos or focus on any styles/techniques. Unfortunately, this means there will be no Bob Ross section this week😢. I get it if you stop reading the blog at this point because he is the highlight of my blog. I suggest you stay because I had a good week, and I'm excited to share what happened! Based off of my blog title, you'd assume I was the genius, right? Yea, no. I'm no genius at painting. I'm getting better, but I am still a beginner, I'd say. So who is this "genius" and why did I name my blog this? Well, it's Kanye West. Whatever notions you may have of him, throw them all away because he is an absolute musical genius. His beats, samples, lyrics, and production are honestly unmatched. I listen to a decent amount of Kanye, but...
