Spent Monday resting my arm which feels better now, did some reading mostly about painting. I was reading a Watts blog from Erik and Lucas and they went over their painting set up which was really basic. I do want to experiment with different materials and so on but moving forward with oil painting I want to stick to their set ups, just to get use to painting and as I progress start experimenting with materials. I don't want to overwhelm myself while I'm still learning to paint.
The Watts live sreaming classes are expanding on the number of classes they offer and want to start offering painting classes aswell which I'm really looking forward to, they didn't give a set date for those classes but hopefully it's soon as I really want to take them!
Progress on the painting. Took some better photos too :)
Started with my darks first which was the backgroun. Wanted to get the value relations right first so when I start working on my lights, which is mostly the figure, I have something to base it off. Redid the colours a few times as I either got the colour wrong (even though it looked correct on my palette) or got the value wrong.
Going to work on the "skin colour wheel" that roanna suggested, hopefully I can get her skin and hair done today and finish the body tomorrow, or I'll work out my colours for both today and paint the entire figure tomorrow and call it done.
