Design I Class
... and made a grid out of the outlined image. The image is in 1/4 inch squares, so each square will have to be hand-drawn and double the size when it's transferred over to the big sheet. 2478 little boxes, one at a time.
20% of the 2478 done. That's 495.6 1/2 inch boxes complete.
Tracing all of this by hand was just too much of a load to handle, so I did scanned in the color image, desaturated it (took out the color), enlarged it, and added brightness/contrast to help see what I'm tracing on the LIGHT TABLE. What you see in the image above took three hours by freehand. What you see below took about three hours on the light table.
Six or seven colors down, fifty to sixty more to go.
Objective: Self-portrait, paint-by-numbers style, acrylic paint.
Comments: There's a reason it's called the 100 hour project.
Grade: Four weeks from now.
We've been working with acrylic paint lately, creating a color scale. Then on a huge sheet of paper we've created a 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch grid.
My teacher took a picture of each one of us.... 
converted it into a paint-by-numbers-esque photo....
gave us two copies.... one for us to trace.
The Jack Nicholson project was simply practice!
