This week was better for me. At QAA I painted an opera singer. Ironically, I failed to paint her mouth. This may have been a subconscious effort to get her to stop talking! I mentioned before that the artists at QAA often engage in conversation with the model. During this hour and a half session, I learned the life story of the model. She, indeed, was very interesting, but I'd rather her talk at the break, and not during the pose!!!
Admittedly, I like the composition, and it was a decent start. Oil on canvas board, no medium.
At John's, I achieved the best likeness of the model to date. Her eyes are a bit cartoonish, but overall I was pleased. I wanted a good composition for this study:
Charcoal on newsprint.
