Had some difficulties logging in last week. My interent browwer was acting up and randomly forgot alot of my log in info and couldn't remember my password for the life of me, thankfully got it all sorted.
Gesture Painting
Currently taking a gesture painting class. Trying to work on my efficiency in drawing with paint and simplfying.
Spent an hour each on these. Stuck to a structured approach for the one on the left and a more tonal appoach for the one on the right and forgo doing a lay-in altogether which clearly shows.........
Ref
Costumed Portrait Painting
Also taking a costumed portrait class aswell. Thought it would be doing studies each week with different types of drapery but looks to be a studio painting class, so working on one long effort instead.
Anyway here is my prep work for the first week. Made some changes to the ref image provided, mainly adding in this invented background to make it more of a illustrative piece. Wanted to show a nice balance of a warm exterior against a cool interior, didn't quite manage to capture that in my colour comp so I'm working on another one that better captures that feeling.
Got some feedback to post aswell as some gesture drawings which I'll try and post tomorrow, save making this one massive post.
