Summer Work: Week 2, Tuesday

           Since I had never painted an entire figure, I decided I better try.

          The porportions aren't too bad, but her head was tilted up more than I was able to represent. Also, her neck seems a little long. I again used a limited palette of venetian red, yellow ochre, ultramarine, and titanium white.  I used a larger canvas than I should have for a one sitting (16"X20"). This exercise was completed in less than three hours at Quincy Art drop-in.  With more time I obviously would have worked on accomplishing deeper values, especially in the face.
