SOLDThis painting was painted in a life drawing situation where I sketched the model and painted her in the span of one hour. She was a little bit sleepy and kept tilting her head forward. Whan I started out she appeared to be a bright girl but by the end her eyes were almost closed and her head had drooped forward to give her this look of just waking up from a nap.
Its fun to paint this way and I encourage all of you to try it. You can find models from gallery owners, universities, art schools, and art institutes. They usually charge $15- 20 .00 dollars an hour and will sit for at least two hours. Painting from life has its challenges but there are many rewards. One is your speed will pick up and you will learn to block things in quickly and without hesitation. This palette is one of compliments.. a purple (bluish) /a yellow orange and also cobalt blue for some of the shadows. The skin tones are yellow and red in light combinations. Her hair is the backgound color mxed with a little raw umber.
Stumble It!
