Seems like I only get to the postings about once every three weeks. Oh well! I was taking a figure painting in oil class at Gage here in Seattle and actually have a couple of results to share. The first more finished than the second. The first was with one figure and 4 studio sessions. The second was with two figures and 5 studio sessions. The models alternated so we had one model at a time with the exception of the first session where both were present. I missed the session when the female model posed for the first time. The second time was the last studio session so I only got one chance at getting her into the composition. The photos of the pieces didn't come out the best but at least give a glimpse of what I've been doing on the painting side of life.
Okay they loaded in the opposite order. The bottom was done first. I also learned to work with a very different palette. It was fun and I learned quite a bit.
Six weeks until FINA Worlds in Goteborg, SW. I'm hoping to keep a art travel journal while on the trip. We'll see if it actually happens. It will take a bit of tenacity and dedication to be consistent with it. But I'll try.
Another post later.
Leigh, what richness! I love the glow throughout these paintings. For me this warmth and color intensity, and the interesting angles and positions, opens whole stories about their inhabitants. Brava!!
