CashWiley Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 This semester, rather than block in values in harsh extremes, we developed a grisaille. For this we used titanium white and raw umber, thinned with oil and gamsol. About two hours, goes much faster when I don't have to consider hue or chroma. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Continuing with the variation on the theme for doing more refined work at the early stages, the local color lay-in this time is much more vibrant than the usual dead color we use. Part of this is the desire to get to later painting stage instruction, despite the time limitations of the class. Model was running late, so only had around an hour and a half of sitting time, at least a half hour of which was mixing paint. So lots left unfinished, because of both less brush time and less mixing time (didn’t have time to whip up mixes for the hair or lips). As always, we lose a bit of the drawing at this phase. Getting a little better at not completely wrecking it, though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Continuing the local color stage, adding hair, neck and lips. Then I put in the background and clothing to better gauge relative values. I’m going to rush the early and middle stages this semester because I want to spend some time learning glazing, which is a later step. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Here I’ve begun to refine the highlights, using the additional elements of local color I finished up last week. The local color of the background showed how relatively dull the highlights on the face were, though the shadows aren’t too bad relative to the black shirt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashWiley Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Forgot to post this one, from the week before last. Slow session, focusing on improving my brushwork. I tend to make hair very helmety, and our instructor is really phenomenal at painting in a, well, painterly fashion. So I watched her for a while and tried to capture some of that in the treatment of the hair. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashWiley Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Last oils class of the semester. Since it's likely we'll have him sit for the next semester (to work advanced painting phases), and we had a bit of a holiday party, this is mostly just tweaking things here and there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 I've been doing a lot of daily anatomy studies, nothing too exciting. Working from Hampton's figure drawing book, which is excellent. I'm trying to carve out Tuesday nights for studio lessons. Tonight was skull studies with Chris Legaspi of New Masters Academy. About 20 minutes each. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
