Life painting excersise
Open studio (week1 of 3)
This one has two more weeks left. While painting the figure I had tell myself to drop some of the details and focus on general values, it's hard when your eys and brain kept telling you more than you need.
I need to get back to life drawing and sketching more...
ReplyDelete...soon I can!

Nice work Echo! Good point about the struggle to not get caught in the detail trap. Who would have thought art was such a mental exercise?
ReplyDeleteAnd studying structural anatomy is analogous to studying the nude figure before trying to draw the draped figure. After all, our skin is much like clothing in some ways...?
Always looking for a deeper meaning and understanding...
