fast figure


Worked quickly in the correct order of quick linear under paint to main darks of setting and figure. I've settled into something of a formula for flesh tones so I don't need to keep hunting around for modeling tones. I'm gravitating to an aesthetic of equal development of the whole image. 13.5" x 18" - 3 hours + touchup time.

back to 3 hr. stuff

I think I must be gradually getting a little better, because managing a full figure sketch in one session used to be more than I could handle.

local workshop





This was a 2 week session. Models held poses all day in a crowded studio at a nearby community college. These are 3 ft. paintings, so it was a chance to loosen up with big brushes.
