QAA Figure Study

Continued use of limited palette-venetian red, ultramarine, yellow ochre, titanium white.  A little liquin is used, too.  Support is a primed wood panel. I stayed for the entire 3 hours this week.  I think I nailed the foreshortening!

 
GREAT MODEL!  She remained motionless the entire time.

Payne's Grey and White


I have been struggling with tones, so I went back to simple Payne's grey and white.  I got a likeness of the model.  It was a quick hour-hour and fifteen minute session at QAA.

Lingerie

Before I started painting seriously, I started copying an image given to me by a friend.  I never finished, but a few weeks ago, my friend saw what I had started and indicated that she liked it better than the original.  Though I am so against copying other's images, I feel this one is OK, since I was just practicing, as a student might copy an old master's work.  I still may change the background color, but we shall see.
