I was way too tired after the workshop on the weekend to post but better late than never. First is work from last week, mainly working on my lay-ins. They are still hit and miss like some days I feel like I did a good job on my lay ins and other days they turn out meh. Just need to work on consistency!
(Sruggled with this one when I started applying tone so decided to redo the lay in, thinking of just creating lay ins for the next few weeks at my portrait class since they are still iffy)
Also I keep forgetting to include the ref for some of my drawings. From now on I'm going to constantly remind myself since people will be able to hopefully have better crits.
Workshop
Overall I had a blast at the workshop, feel like I learnt alot from it and it was great being able to ask the tutor questions and chat about art in general since I rarely get the chance. I definitely want to take more workshops with him.
The workshop itself was an Imprimature painting, the process is very similar to Jeff's burnt umber pick out paintings on the online videos (most likely the same). Worked only with burnt umber on canvas firstly applying a thin wash over the surface usiing linseed oil and clove oil to slow the drying process, and then dry brushing afterwards without using any mediums working in thin layers.
What was really nice was that we used comperative measuring, I thought it might be sight sized since the instructor trained at the Angel Academy, we even used the asaro head which again was another plus.
Completely forgot to take the ref home with me, might email him and see if I can get a copy.
Live streaming class have started this week so watched Erik's demo and have been working on the homework tonight although not 100% if I did it correctly, he wasn't clear about how to do it (think he wants us to focus on basic construction this week rather than applying edges and features etc). I'll see what other people do and redo it if necessary so will post that tomorrow or Thursday.
