8 Strips Left

I'm also missing the swatch card for Calm Yellow 2.So just ordered that from Dulux.

But here's todays work.I figured out that I only have 8 more strips left to paint plus my randoms and I will be done.So another 3 or 4 days if I do 3 strips a day plus a random day I should be done.

Yay!

14 Colours Today

Mines a tea, milk and two sugars thanks.

Renaming

I think the "Calm" range should be renamed the "Brown" range because all I have painted so far are various shades and hues of brown!Can't wait to get onto the greens for change!
I have 9 strips left to paint plus my randoms.
Should be done pretty soon!
I'm up to Calm Gold 1 "Roman Stone"
Yay!

So Far, So Dulux

So this is all the work I've done over the past couple of days in between essay reading and writing.

Calm

Finished the warm Neutrals and I'm onto the "Calm" range now.

Up to Calm Red 5 "Blush Noisette"

My back is killing I'm going to have a cup of tea and relax :D

Neutrals

I'm up to the Warm Neutrals now!Yay! Had some interesting news yesterday.I was late for uni (oppppps!sorry!slept late I always go on time promise just didn't get up probably because of catching up from sleep from the other night when I was woken up and couldn't get back to sleep) I texted my friend from my course and she said our technician Kim wanted to see me because Estates had some questions about my work and and display which I have applied to do.Anyway after absolutly crapping myself that it was going to be a massive "NO!" from estates I went to uni and saw Kim and she said that Estates are worried about my work falling/being knocked over because they have to worry about health and safety because where I am putting it is quite a busy area.She also said that they had asked if I wanted to hang my work on the wall.A bit weird really because I asked specifically to lean it because I thought if I applied to hang it they would say no because of damaging the wall and then they ask if I want to!lol Anyway I told Kim I was planning on making a stand for them and that they would be secure and be made as stable and safe as possible.Kim said she would tell estates this and so fingers crossed that I will get approval and be able to exhibit there!

I love you Estates!

Painting Day!

So I had about 5 hours sleep last night got woken up at 3am by my housemates (thanks guys!)I then stayed awake until gone 6am which sucks but anyway.

Easter weekend

So lazy weekend I didn't do any work opps.Hope everyone had a nice Easter and Bank Holiday though.I went for a girls night out Saturday night and saw my other half Sunday night and went for a meal with my Parentals last night.so I blame everyone else for my lack of work because they want me to do things!I could have done work I just couldn't fit it in because I feel like I need to do long stretches of time to make it worth while I don't see the point in an hour here and hour there I'd rather do a few hours and get lots done and make one big mess to clear up.
Deadline is May the 11th which is under a month away.I'm going to be the first to be assessed the Monday morning oh dear :/
So 158 colours left to do which is approximately 948 colours to mix really.I've also got a 3,500 words essay to write by the 8th of May.So little time!So...
I'm going to dry my hair kick my Dad out of the kitchen and get painting!
So look out for updates later people!
Hello to my 2 watchers aswell thanks for looking and following!

My Studio Yesterday

My back garden became my studio in the sun yesterday.
Not bad right?

So far so good

So I'm up to Rich orange 3.
Yay!
Only 158 left to go!

Gorgeous

Sunset today outside my house.
I just loved the colours I couldn't resist taking a photo.Which range are they from though?

Day 67 of the Dulux Paint project

Finished the Fresh Range :) (a couple missing due to paint being down my uni house opps!)
Started Rich Reds earlier!

Time for a Rest

It's 10.41pm I just packed up for the night I've been working solidly since 2pm and only had a break of about an hour for dinner.This is all the work I managed to do so far today.The bottom swatches two on the purple strip and the bottom swatch on the blue strip are the swatch cards because I'm missing those paints because they are in bag down my uni house because I couldn't sort them into the ranges they are in the "random" bag which I forgot to bring home!But anyway I've done 16 colours today which is 96 mixed colours.I only have my missing coloursand the set of "Fresh" neutrals left and I've completed the whole "fresh" range.Here's some pictures!

Painted

Today I have managed to get paint on:
Myself
My Laptop
Camera
Phone
Mam's kitchen floor
My foot
Sky Remote Control
My Mam
and probably several other places we have yet to notice!

The Bue Man Group

I'm slowly becoming a member...

Todays work

Today so far (2pm-5.15pm) I have completed 8 cards and here they are :)
I've done 35 cards now only 19 left and I've done the full set of Fresh colours.

Easter

I've been a bit lazy to be honest.I moved home Sunday afternoon its now Thursday and this is the first time I've decided to sit down and do some of my project.
But really I'm only home for two weeks so I've been out to see friends who I haven't seen for ages or don't see much of when I'm in uni.I had a massive sore throat yesterday it's calmed down a lot today thankfully I can swallow without it hurting too much!
But I'm going to work today and tomorrow :D
So bring on the updates today.

Unmissing

My missing swatch cards came today so a big THANK YOU to Emma who found my ebay page by chance and offered to help me out because she works for Dulux and she sent me the cards I had missing.So now I have the full set!
I'm working in my sketchbook and reading for my essay today so no pictures updates sorry but I'm off to uni tomorrow and hopefully my lovely Daddy will be coming to pick me and my work up so I can continue working on it over the Easter holidays because we don't have studio access and there's no way I can carry 4 boxes of paint and 45 pieces of wood home on the bus!

Exhibition Space

n
This is the place I really want to display in.Need permission from estates though so need to apply for it argh!

Paint Pots

I also like the look of the cups I'm storing my paint in.

I've been collecting the little brushes from my samples and dipping them in each colour and sticking them to my studio wall in uni in place of the swatch cards.It's quite nice to see my progress.Plus I quite like the little brushes they are quite sweet.

Lots of photos!

So this is all the work I've done so far.I've done 22 fulls cards of colours which is 132 colours altogether :D I'm quite pleased with myself because I only started on Monday.
So here they are Fresh Red 1-6 Fresh Orange 1-6 Fresh Golds 1-6 and Fresh Yellows 1-4.

Advetising maybe?

I've got a few spare cards so I decided to write my blog address on them.
Might put them around uni for fun to get some attention?
