Here is a high quality aphoto of the pavlov portrait that was completed yesterday:
As well as a detail of the beard so that the brushwork can be seen properly. I think it's important to stress at this point that I have no training in painting:
Today, a portrait of Henry Ford was completed. Below is the timelapse and the finished article:
Further palette testing continued today. The amount of white needed to transform black into white is truly phenomenol. I believe we are approaching a ratio of white to black of 100:0.5 ml, and the mixture is still not completely white. Although the process of creating the study is extremely time-consuming, the information will be invaluable in not only allowing the computer to calculate the exact mixture for the colours in the picture it is analyzing, but will also, hopefully, provide a set of data that can then be used for predicting colour mixtures across the board.
The New Fordist Organization GEMAK residency was supported by GEMAK and a Stroom PRO Kunstprojecten Grant.
