This week's figure drawing. 20 minute pose, 18x24.

 

Had to rush the legs, and it shows.

I wish she had that girl's figure :D No, I draw random naked strangers (though I've drawn this particular girl a few times now).

Started a new thing today, something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. My inspiration is the legendary James Gurney. I spent my break period in the library cafe sketching a patron on her phone. About 10-15 minutes, graphite on sketch paper 5.5×8.5.

Very nice for a quick sketch.  It's really showing how all that practice you do has paid off, IMO.

This semester, rather than block in values in harsh extremes, we developed a grisaille. For this we used titanium white and raw umber, thinned with oil and gamsol. About two hours, goes much faster when I don't have to consider hue or chroma.

Continuing with the variation on the theme for doing more refined work at the early stages, the local color lay-in this time is much more vibrant than the usual dead color we use. Part of this is the desire to get to later painting stage instruction, despite the time limitations of the class.

Model was running late, so only had around an hour and a half of sitting time, at least a half hour of which was mixing paint. So lots left unfinished, because of both less brush time and less mixing time (didn’t have time to whip up mixes for the hair or lips).



As always, we lose a bit of the drawing at this phase. Getting a little better at not completely wrecking it, though!

I'm dropping figure drawing for the second half-semester. The weak instruction in still life wasn't too bad, but it's really apparent in figure drawing. And by weak I mean approaching non-existent. I'm going to try setting aside the three hours to work on figure drawing at home using online resources like Croquis Cafe. Doesn't help that the school is short on models, so they're either tired or completely unskilled and terrible.

Continuing the local color stage, adding hair, neck and lips. Then I put in the background and clothing to better gauge relative values. I’m going to rush the early and middle stages this semester because I want to spend some time learning glazing, which is a later step.

Your progress on this portrait, as compared to the previous two, is so much better and your growth is really showing.  I really like how this is turning out already.

I'm currently working on a postcard to be donated for the Twitter Art Exhibit.  It's something I ran across a while back on FB and I've decided to join this year because I really does sound like a cool idea.  Art for Charity!

Right now this is the first phase with all the layers done; I just want to make sure it's really dry before I move to phase two, which involves gold watercolor paint and a dip pen. :D

Here I’ve begun to refine the highlights, using the additional elements of local color I finished up last week. The local color of the background showed how relatively dull the highlights on the face were, though the shadows aren’t too bad relative to the black shirt.

Went to see the Andrew Wyeth exhibit at SAM today - if you're in the area, please go see it. It was amazing to see the work in person.

Oh wow, that's an awesome painting and link to Wyeth, Sky.

Haven't been doing much myself.  Doodling, but that's about it.  I have managed to complete this piece, which needs to get sent off for Twitter Art Exhibit 2018 (supports charity work), so there's that.  The designs in gold paint are kind of hard to see when viewing straight on.

I like the painting, Schild.  Is the second one actually 3D or does it just look that way?  It's hard to tell from the angle.  Either way, I like it.

Finished this today.  Watercolor and ink on paper, 9" x 12"

Last oils class of the semester. Since it's likely we'll have him sit for the next semester (to work advanced painting phases), and we had a bit of a holiday party, this is mostly just tweaking things here and there.

I've been doing a lot of daily anatomy studies, nothing too exciting. Working from Hampton's figure drawing book, which is excellent. I'm trying to carve out Tuesday nights for studio lessons. Tonight was skull studies with Chris Legaspi of New Masters Academy. About 20 minutes each.

Really interesting to watch the struggle between a looser style and a more formally representational one in the development of that portrait.

Thanks! It's been interesting for me, too, as I try to find my own style. On the one hand, I still have by love of Caravaggio (and even in strict representational work, there is a looseness in some application like clothes and hair that I'm trying to learn). On the other hand are guys like Jeremy Mann and Vladimir Volegov, who marry figurative realism with impressionism.

Had a random background sitting around that I wasn't sure what to do with.  Figured it out after my last piece "Jellyfish Daydreams" and finished it the other night.  I'm kind of enjoying this method.

"Under the Sea", watercolor and ink on paper. 6" x 9"
